There is no instance of "a coin has two sides" in the 100 million word BNC. I think the following expressions are more idomatic:
one side of the coin:
e.g. And angry young men are just older men who haven't grown up and can only see one side of the coin.
the other/opposite side of the coin
e.g. There is also the other side of the coin.
e.g. The other side of the coin is that firms may now be hiring workers more quickly as demand picks up
e.g. And that, of course, was the other side of the coin: what people do to their children.
e.g. Making the rules is only part of it. How the rules are carried out is the other side of the coin.
two sides of the same coin
e.g. Love and anger, it seems, are two sides of the same coin.
one side of the coin:
e.g. And angry young men are just older men who haven't grown up and can only see one side of the coin.

The British National Corpus is generaly accepted as a large balanced corpus, yet no instance is found for "a coin has two sides".
