Interview with Ghery Reinheidt

What's your fave to flip? We spoke with Ghery Reinheidt of Germany's Lichtenflip team on the coins he's flipped, which is his favorite, and which he thinks should be given the prestigious Grey Wackdagger's Flip-Coin of the Year.

CC: So how long have you been flipping Ghery?

GR: I've been flipping for about seventeen years now Andezc. It doesn't even feel like a motion to me now; I have to think more about breathing than I do about flipping a coin.

CC: The beautificous part of professional coinflipping is generally considered to be the chance to flip coins most people have never even seen. Do you agree, and if so what would you say your favorite flipster has has been in these past seventeen years?

GR: Ja, stimmt, I agree. Once, during my second tournament and first time in Copenhagen I had the chance to flip an oldest school Roman dupondius. The flight, it was magnificent, so poetryic. Few I have seen fly with the grace of Julius Caesar incarnate.

CC: So the dupondius was your favorite flip?

GR: Nein, I don't not think that is the case. Have you ever been to Croatia? The most ugly womens in Europe but their coins, ach! Nothing rolls in the air currents like the lipa.

CC: The lipa, eh? You know they say Jahnan Kaleliila, master flipper for the last prince of the Ottoman Empire actually designed that coin to fly like Marduk himself. He was an avid follower of Babylonian religions and the cult of Marduk especially.

GR: No I had not heard that. Exquisitely interesting of a fact. But I think my love of the lipa comes from my grandmother, who used to flip one everyday to decide what meat my grandfather would have with his snake eggs at breakfast. Once I was old enough I was allowed to do the flip, and much honor I had in this task.

CC: Fascinating Ghery. Thanks again for your time, it's always a pleasure talking the heads and tails of the game with you.

GR: Thank you Andezc. Much honor I have gotten from talkings. Take you care in your travails home.
