Jungle

This is completely true!

Okay, so it was after dinner and my sister, dad and I were at the table just kinda goofing off then my sister asked me this riddle:

There is one man in a jungle, he reaches into his pocket and takes something out, it has a head and a tail but no body, yet he is not afraid. What was the thing he found in his pocket?

I couldn't figure it out so my dad gave me a hint:
you can flip it.

I still could not figure it out.
What do you flip? asked my dad.
Then I was all like:

A coin. A COIN! A COIN! THAT'S IT, A COIN!!!

What can I say? I'm a blonde, but it doesn't count too much because I have dirty blonde hair and blonde and dirty blonde isn't the same thing.
