Hope you rolled your own keys otherwise same thing could happen.
now, do you trust the coin? Maybe your coin has a bias to land on head, because of uneven weight distribution. A bias can have a negative effect on the entropy of the bits produced. studies say average coin bias is 51/49, which is low enough to not be an issue.
If you still don't trust the coin, you can use von neumann normalization.
For each throw, you do 2 throws instead:
if
heads, heads => rethrow
tails, tails => rethrow
heads,tails => heads
tails, head => tails
this will require more than double the throws, but will give you unbiased entropy
Use a different (denomination) coin for each word?
i think you could do that, but hard to quantify the gains

@N Don Quixote and Sancho Panza heading out on the road is a great pick. I think every Bitcoiner has charged a windmill or two.
