2 change: "Change" has a few meanings, but when speaking of money, the term means both "the difference or remainder of a transaction", as well as "money in coin form".

1 flip: This is correct. The term "to flip" means to turn something over quickly. In the conversation, Bruno "flips a coin" to make a decision. To "flip" shares a similar meaning with to "toss" in this context. We can also "flip a pancake", "flip the pages of a book", or "flip a cassette to play the other side", among other things. Note that we can also use the expression "to toss a coin".
2 coin: This is correct. A "coin" is a small, usually round, piece of metal which is used as money. Examples include the "penny" in Britain, the "dime" in the USA, or the "cent" in Euroland. In this context, it is tossed into the air, and the side it lands on will help Bruno make a decision.
3 heads: This is correct. In this context, the term "heads" is used to refer to one side of a coin: the side often featuring the portrait of a monarch or leader. Note that the plural form must be used in this context: we never say "head" in relation to a coin.
4 tails: This is correct. In this context, the term "tails" is used to refer to one side of a coin. This side often features crests or national emblems: for example, the American eagle in the USA, or Britannia in the UK. Note that the plural form must be used in this context: we never say "tail" in relation to a coin.
