There's a link to a D2, where prior to clicking I was thinking "well that's a coin, right?" until I realised a coin is technically a (very biased) D3.


Huh, now I'm curious, what did the D2 look like?


Lenticoidal, I guess? I.e. remove the outer face of the cilinder by making the faces curved


Yeah, that was my thought as well, but that's also basically a D3 with a really small third edge, in practice. I was wondering whether there's some clever shape that actually is a D2, though maybe that's a Möbius strip in reality.

Doesn't every die have a bunch of edges or even vertices that aren't considered faces despite having a measurable width? As long as it's realistically impossible to land on that edge, I think it shouldn't count as a face.

You're close, it looks like a failed attempt at doing a möbius ring.
