An unsual coin in France

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

I was studying in USA for almost one year (I'm Brazilian), but during the winter break I went to France with my boyfriend. Since he was traveling from Brazil to France, I waited for him at the Orly Airport, and before his flight arrived, I founded a brazilian coin (one Real) on the floor. I was very surprised because the flight from Brazil had not arrived at that time, and I, a brazilian, have founded that brazilian coin in France.
