US Coins
US quarters and dimes have reeded edges as a way to prevent coin clipping. Back when coins would be made from precious metal, rogues would shave off a tiny amount of metal off the edges of coins, collect the shavings, and later sell them. Doing so in a careful manner allowed coin clippers to make money while also further using the clipped coin. Reeded edges ruined the scheme, as shaving them would be immediately noticeable. Nickles and pennies don't have reeded edges as they are mainly composed of inexpensive metals.
