Reeding
Security edging on coins, consisting of close vertical ridges. As a rule, this appears all round the edge but some coins, for example New Zealand's 50c (1967) and the Isle of Man's £1 (1978) have segments of reeding alternating with a plain edge, to help blind and partially sighted persons to identify these coins.
