'American Gods' Season 2 preview: What do the two coins given to Shadow Moon symbolize in the Starz series?

Of all the symbols that have been thrown at viewers in 'American Gods', two particular coins, one of silver and one of gold, stand out the most in the show

'American Gods' is a show that's deeply steeped in mysticism and symbolism, and it is easy while being enthralled by beautiful imagery to miss out on the little symbols that we take for granted throughout the show.

We see the protagonist Shadow Moon continuously flipping coins throughout the series as a kind of stress busting move, and even though we see him do it from the first episode itself, we never really give it a second glance, thinking "Hey, that's his thing."
