See previous comment on Jaynes. He details how to control the outcome of the toss by how you throw it. Whether that amounts to cheating depends on the use you put this mighty power.
There are other papers online as well. Most will refer back to Jaynes, so "jaynes coin flipping" yields some hits.
So, if we've established that you can control the outcome, then it seems obvious that the event isn't going to be properly random :)
I guess I didn't italicize properly. I was just pointing people to Jaynes description of how to bias the coin toss, since I thought it might be of interest.
