FUN FACT FRIDAY!!! Did you ever wonder why the quarter has those ridges on the edge? They were created to prevent counterfeiting. Yes, even back in those gentler times of Colonial America there were improvising criminals trying to counterfeit money. These counterfeiters would shave the edges off of coins because they were made of silver and gold. The dime has 118 reeds, the quarter has 119 and the half-dollar has 150, according to the U.S. Mint.
