Heads and Tails (Russian: Орел и решка; Ukrainian: Орел і решка, romanized: Orel i reshka, lit. 'Oryol i reshka') is Ukrainian travel TV show that launched in 2011. It is broadcast in Ukraine, Russia (until 2022), Israel, and Kazakhstan in Russian and Ukrainian languages. Its reruns are also available on Polish and Israeli television.
Heads and Tails is hosted by two co-hosts. In each episode, the show visits another location in the world for one weekend. One of the hosts (determined by a coin toss) receives a credit card with unlimited credit (in practice, this has been limited to US$30,000 per day), called the "Golden card", while the other has to spend the weekend with US$100 including all expenses. Starting with the second season, the show has hidden a bottle with $100 in each visited location for travelers to find.
A spin-off, titled Oryol i Reshka Shopping dealing with shopping, began airing on February 15, 2014.
