    Flipping a coin two times and reading the result as binary gang. (Don’t actually do this, coins aren’t as fair)

      They’re only off by about 1% and the bias depends on which side was up, it’s not that bad. I wouldn’t expect most inexpensive dice to be substantially fairer than that.

          I have not read any stats on coin spinning, so I don’t know!

            I suppose it’s basically flipping turned 90 degrees, so it might still be affected but which face is forward when being spun.
