I can just make out part of "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" on the top coin but it's a 'reversed' (mirror) image. Edited out the last part of my post just in case this doesn't have anything to do with a conspiracy or something like that. (Old habits die hard)

US coins, actually.

I can just make out part of "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" on the top coin but it's a 'reversed' (mirror) image.

So, my question is - what is the point of this thread?

(I'm sure I will be sorry I asked). Roll Eyes

I think he might be asking about the ridges on the coins.

It's called 'reeding'.

Coin reeding is the process of adding a pattern to the edge of a coin to prevent counterfeiting and clipping:

Purpose

Reeding makes it harder to clip coins, which is the practice of shaving off the edges of coins to steal the precious metal. Reeding also helps prevent counterfeiting.

Terminology

Reeded edges are also known as "ridged", "grooved", or "milled".

History

Isaac Newton introduced reeding in 1698 while he was the warden of the Royal Mint. England began minting coins with reeded edges to combat the practice of clipping, which was common in 17th-century Europe. The U.S. Mint followed suit when it was founded.

Benefits

Reeding also helps people who are visually impaired identify different coins by touch.

Examples

Many coins have reeded edges, including US quarters and dimes, 1 euro, and Australian 5, 10, 20 cents, 1 and 2 dollars.

Yeah, you're probably right... hard to tell with SerialBrain/The Mechanic. It's usually something to do with a conspiracy or vaccinations with him most of the time. (I edited the last part of my previous post to give him the benefit of the doubt).

Who were the people that first started making coin clipping machines and/or coin shaving stealing the precious metals and devaluing that countries currencies?? (Inflation) I’ll give you a hint… They’ve been kicked out of at least 109 countries …
