There is actually a third (but rare) chance of it landing on its side. So its like a d3 with skewed odds.
A similar chance exists for a die and ending up on a corner, no?
Good point.
Most die corners are rounded, but there are the pointy ones where it could happen once in a blue moon. It'd be like a glitch in the matrix moment.
In fact, this happened to me once. I threw about a dozen coins on the table and one quarter landed on its edge, spun around and stayed standing - and did not roll away. But of course no one believes me.

A coin is a flat, metal disc. A die is typically a 6 sided plastic cube, but can be up to 120 sides.
4 sided dice are also a thing.
