You can flip the coins any number of times.
For any given number, divide them into two group of equal number.
Say we have 10 Coins, and we have to divide them into 5-5’s Group,
First 5 would contain say x Heads, and ( 5- x ) tails.
while other group would contain ( 5- x ) heads and x Tails.
Just flip one Group totally, and it would be same as the other Group. in other words,
x heads and ( 5- x ) tails would convert into ( 5- x ) heads and x tails. which is similar to other group.
