Doesn't hurt as bad as a d4

I'm a bit disappointed that many of these n-sided dice are not [isohedral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isohedral_figure), despite isohedral polyhedra existing for many of these values of n.

This gave me an idea for a gimmick die. Transparent die filled with dark liquid. The exterior of the die has the usual numbers in white lettering. Inside the die, there is a smaller cork die that rises like a magic 8ball. It’s 2d(x) in 1. Interesting for tension building, if nothing else.

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.

define 'side'. How many sides does a square coin have?

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.

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.
