Well, that's a way of looking at it, but there's another:

The bonus of using coins rather than d6, apart from a simpler and direct reading of the result (there are only two sides to a coin), is that you *cannot* do funky things, *specially* exploding dice...

I prefer really simple systems and to me those funky things only destroy the beauty of a simple system. But that's only me.
