timer not updating?

Ive got a timer that im using to simulate a coin flip (practice makes perfect right?) well It will only gofrom 10 to 9 immediately and not continue. I cannot figure out what is wrong, is anything wrong?

HTML Code:

-(IBAction)flipCoin {
	time = 10.0;
	timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.5 target:self selector:@selector(updateCoin) userInfo:nil repeats:false];
}
-(void)updateCoin{
	time = time - 1;
	if(time == 0){
		[timer invalidate];
		[self showCoin];
	} else {
		[self updateCoinAnim];
	}
}
-(void)updateCoinAnim{
	coinWindow.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"coin_anim_step_%i.png", time]];
	// for testing
	mainText.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", time];
}
-(void)showCoin{
	coin = 1 + arc4random() %2;
	coinWindow.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"coin_%i.png", coin]];
	
}
