no not all US Coins are milled
MoreThe more common term today is "reeded"; for some reason "milled" has fallen out of use in the last 150 years or so. For current US coins:- Cents and nickels have smooth edges.
- Dimes, quarters, and halves are reeded
- Dollars have "lettered" edges which are smooth but include things like mottoes, the date and mint mark, etc.
Reeding was originally used to make it easier to detect removal of metal from a coin's edge. Criminals would take a small bit from each coin; added together it amounted to a lot of stolen gold or silver.
Reeding on US and Canadian Coins continues today as a matter of tradition. Other countries use variations on reeding such as circumferential grooves and interrupted reeds to make it easier for visually-impaired people to distinguish coins by touch.
