DId you find one of those spam email websites or something? You're all over the place with this stuff...

 

cerridwen, I want to inform you that while you were posting this junk, I made a man stumble on the street and lose his winning lottery ticket. Too bad you wasted your time here, someone else foundeth it.

 

So turn off time, dick.

 

Ahhh...but why are the edges of coins ridged? (Or reeded, or milled?)

Back when coins were still made from real precious metals, the unscrupulous could shave a tiny bit of gold or silver off the edge of the coin. Do this enough times, and you get enough metal for a whole new coin. Milling the edges keeps folks honest.

 

It's also to aid blind people, as is the differentiating sizes of the coins.

 

that may be, but at the same time no one is forcing you to read my posts.
