Why did the US government put grooves on coins?
The U.S. government put grooves on coins, particularly the edges of certain denominations like the quarter and dime, to prevent counterfeiting and coin clipping. Historically, coins were made of precious metals, and individuals would shave off small amounts from the edges to create their own coins. The grooves, or reeding, serve as a visual and tactile feature to indicate authenticity and deter tampering.
