Yeah, but the coin doesn't have last year's score posted on the locker
room wall.

Moreover, if the coin comes up heads on 15 consecutive tosses, you might
want to consider the possibility that it may not be a 'fair coin'.
(If you rolled 7 on 15 consecutive passes, I'm sure most casinos would
decide it was time to switch dice.)
