> If you flip a coin 10 times and you will get 10 tails it doesn't mean that the coin is broken or faulty.

It might be. At a certain point, the coin is more likely "broken" (or rigged somehow) than actually flipping tails every time. The chances of flipping a coin 10 times in a row tails are ~1/1000, so I do not think this is in the range, but at 100 flips, I would say that it is much more likely that the coin has been tampered with.
