Fair coins tend to land on the same side they star...
I think the sporting approach of letting the coin drop to the ground rather than catching it is the answer to avoid bias in coin tossing.

Not neccessarily because spinning and bouncing coins are often much more biased then flipped coins. (Unequal weight distribution on the side can bias a spinned coin while it doesn not bias a flipped coin. There are a couple of studies on it too.)
