Harvey Dent was a respected District Attorney until a gangster threw acid at him, leaving one side of his face horrifically scarred. The incident destabilised his mind so badly, he developed an alternate personalty and became the supervillain, Two-Face. Since his two identities have equal footing in his mind, Dent is incapable of making a choice and so, governs all his decisions with the flip of a coin.

Dent isn't just obsessed with his coin; he can't function without it. In the 1989 comic, Arkham Asylum, psychiatrists tried to cure him of his compulsion by replacing his coin with a dice. This would allow him to have six choices instead of two. This dice was eventually replaced with a tarot deck, giving him far more choices in his everyday life. The doctors assumed this treatment would curb his obsession with coins and impulse for violence.

Unfortunately, it left Dent incapable of making the most basic of choices - including going to the bathroom.
