Or, is there some standard way to determine which side is heads for all coins? Such as maybe using the side with the mint year as heads and other side as tails?

There are US coins with the mint year on the tails side.

I suppose you're referring to select gold coins from the 1800s. Also, there are some US coins that don't have a head, such as the 2-cent piece, but I've never been in a coin-flipping situation with them.

The "new" state quarters have the year on tails, as do, maybe, the new nickels.
