We often say that everything we do every day has a history. Did you know when you grab a coin for a coin flip and shout "Head or Tails" you are referencing the Athenian Owl? It is this coin that started the tradition-with the "Head" of Athena, and the "Tail" of the Owl. A Presidential Pocket Piece: U.S President Theodore Roosevelt kept an Athenian Owl in his pocket for luck and protection.
