Does its' exist in English? To be honest with you, I don’t know what's the purpose of comma after the possessive pronoun. This is the first time I have seen that.

​

Thank you,

That's incorrect. "It" is always singular. You can have "its" or "it's". In the example you gave it should also be "head", not "heads". It's an apostrophe, not a comma.

When I saw the title of this thread I assumed it was about tossing a coin. When a coin is tossed, one person calls "heads" and the other "tails". If the coin lands head-side up it's very common for someone to exclaim, "It's heads!".

In American football, too. The winner of the opening coin toss can decide to receive the ball first, to defend a certain end of the field (this matters for kicking when the wind is strong), or to defer such choice until the beginning of the second half. If deferred, the loser of the coin toss decides for the first half.
