Coin Ridges

Only true coin collectors may take a lot of time to determine what the ridges on some coins are for, while there are many others that do not have this feature. It may seem strange to a lot of people that dimes and quarters are designed with rough edges, while it is not the same with pennies and nickels. As it turns out, back in the day, people usually shave off their coins in a bid to make new ones, and as such, the ridges are there to prevent this. A lot of people tend to try and hack the system to “make money.”
