Reeded edges......NICE TO KNOW FACTS

[Dozer D]

Does anyone have background data on the Reeded edges of our dimes quarters halves. As to number of grooves, same quantity of grooves between the dime Qtr & half, current coins vs older varieties., the reason for reeded edges (cents & nickels don't have them)., U S coin vs Canadian coins that are produced., similar grooves?
Just a question that comes to mind. Comments with facts please!
