What is the rough edge of dime called?
Answer 1:its called scrub you scrub Answer 2: The roughened or designed edge of a coin is called the milled or reeded edge. The reeding was introduced to demonstrate that the edge of the coin had not been filed, saved or clipped. (Back when the metal of the coin carried its true worth). It continues today as an aesthetic device.The British numismatic term for the reeded ridged edge is "graining" and the reeds are called "crenellations".
When did they start adding ridges to dimes and quarter coins?
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.
What do you call the ridges on the edge of a coin?
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.
