Smoothed vs. still-reeded edge... I don't get this one, can you please explain?

The ridged edge was originally designed to prevent coin clipping and metal currency fraud..

The Statute of the Jewry c. 1275 saw a series of new regulations placed upon the Jewish community by King Edward I.

Building on the earlier, loosely enforced restrictions issued by his father, Edward placed new, stricter controls on Jewish individuals, most notably outlawing the practice of usury (lending money at interest)...

The 1270s also marked escalating tensions elsewhere. The accusation most commonly brought against Jews in court was neither homicide (murder) nor theft, but the act of coin-clipping; trimming pieces of silver off the rims of coins, melting them down, recasting the silver into plates, and selling these to a goldsmiths or other metalworkers for money. Various arrests took place over the course of the thirteenth century, but there was much worse to follow. On 17th November 1278, it was record[ed] that all the Jews of England were simultaneously arrested 'for clipping of money' and imprisoned while their houses were searched. Although Christians were also accused of these crimes, it was clear that England’s Jewish community were targeted as the key suspects. Coinclipping was punishable by death and, by 7th May 1279, it was recorded that 269 Jews had been executed in London.

[Edward expelled the Jews on the 12th of July 1290.]
