      The old UK £1 was similar in size but twice as thick. It’s now 12-sided but not sure how that impacts the odds.

        The weirdly shaped ones probably sell better. Which would you pick up in a store?

        Oh, I still bought the full set, but I tried to get isohedral dice whenever possible.

          It has only 1 corner, and 2 surfaces, making it 2 sided. The 2 sides just happen to be curved

            I know there’s a way to figure that out, but I have no idea where to start. So I’m going with 1 in 3000, plus or minus 42.

                  define ‘side’.

                  How many sides on a ball?

                  Fair point. A ball has either one or infinite sides from my perspective.

                    Inside, outside, and, depending on the ball, offsides.

                      I’ve seen this shape uses as a D4. Nothing cursed about it. About as threatening to me as a Labrador puppy.

                          I like how you’d be rolling two d10’s, and then completely ignoring one of them.

                            It’s four-sided, not two-sided. If that one counts, you can also just use a regular six-sided one and just put three ‘ones’ and three ‘twos’ on it.

                            It has two sides. They’re curved, and it doesn’t stay on the curve part, so you can effectively use it as a d4, but it’s still only two-sided.

                            Sort of like how you can flip a Mobius strip like a coin and it will land one of two ways, but it still only has one side.

                                Coins are just really unbalanced three-sided dice.

                                That extremely rare, almost-never chance of landing on the edge is exactly what I would program into a game if I made one, instead of exactly 50% odds.

                                      Well, but it also has to stay on its edge, and that’s a lot less likely…

                                          I prefer better odds than that…
