Have you ever wondered why quarters and dimes have ridged edges, while pennies and nickels are smooth? 🪙

Back when coins were made of real silver and gold, people used to perform a trick called "coin shaving." They would scrape tiny slivers of precious metal off the edges of coins before spending them, eventually melting down the shavings to sell.

To stop this practice, the Mint added grooved ridges (called reeded edges) to high-value coins. If a coin’s ridges were missing or smoothed over, merchants knew it had been tampered with!

Even though our modern coins are made from base metals today, the ridges remain as a historical anti-tampering feature.
