Yes, the pungi, also known as the been, is a double-reeded instrument traditionally used in India. It consists of two reeds that are attached to a wooden body, allowing it to produce a continuous sound. The musician blows air into the reeds, which vibrate to create the characteristic sound of the pungi, often associated with snake charmers.

The idea of adding reeding along the rim of coins, to thwart shaving or "clipping" part of the metal, is attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, who was Master of the Royal Mint in Britain from 1699 to 1727. Other techniques had been tried in various countries prior to that time.In the United States, coins have been known to have reeded edges as early as 1795. (There are four specimens of the 1795 Large Cent with reeded edges--one has recently sold for over $1 million).The US Dime and Quarter Dollar have had reeded edges from their inception in 1796.Today, the reeding is purely decorative, as there is no incentive to "clip" cladded coins like quarters and dimes.

A coin with these has 'reeded' edges. Reeds were first put on the edges of coins back in the days when coins contained precious metals such as gold or silver. It was a common practice for crooks to shave off a tiny amount of metal all the way around the rim of a lot of coins, collect the shavings, and sell them to a metal dealer. However, shaving a coin with a reeded edge would immediately be obvious and the police or mint officials would know that someone was committing fraud.
