Yes, but the result of the flip is still not "random". The coin and our hand are still subject to the laws of physics. On a superficial and practical level randomness exists. But if there were a computer that could calculate all the human/enviromental factors involved in that coin flip, the results probably wouldnt be random. But for all practical purposes it is.
