I was looking for a coin flipping engine (bored... yes) and I came across This Page which will give you sample coin flips. The interesting part was at the bottom of the page...

Ken White's Coin Flipping Page said:
This page has been accessed 892697 times since September 23, 1995
There have been 17530830 coins flipped resulting in 8762075 heads and 8768755 tails

So that's what
50.01% tails
49.99% heads
over 17.53M flips

I guess in the long run things do come out in the wash (?)

Side Note: Another Coin Flipper, And Another The second also shows...

Heads 50.00% (1,136,945,373 / 2274042035)50% (1/2)
Tails 50.00% (1,137,096,662 / 2274042035)50% (1/2)

You know though, this second example shows that, if these were poker coin flips, someone could go through a 151K coin flip downswing, while another player(s) has the opposite 151K upswing. (but that's if you play a billion hands :D )
