Coins are just really unbalanced three-sided dice.

The odds of a US nickel landing on its edge is about 1 in 6000. If there are any other country's coins thicker the odds would probably get better.

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.

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.
