Do I need it in the following sentence? I am not that sure about it.
A coin has two sides. It takes both to flip it.

I don't think you need it, but I think your sentence reads better with it.– J.R. ♦Commented Jun 29, 2018 at 10:28

Your sentence #2, " it takes both to flip it ", doesn't make sense.– user77422Commented Jun 29, 2018 at 10:55

What are you trying to say? That it's not possible to flip a single-sided coin?– Ronald SoleCommented Jun 29, 2018 at 14:30

The sentence won't sound too pleasant without the it but it isn't totally necessary to have the word it in your sentence.
There are also many other ways that you can structure your sentence, for example:
A coin has two sides. It takes both for it to flip.
A coin has two sides. It takes both for it to be flipped.
