The idea of adding reeding along the rim of coins, to thwart shaving or "clipping" part of the metal, is attributed to Sir Isaac newton, who was Master of the Royal Mint in Britain from 1699 to 1727. Other techniques had been tried in various countries prior to that time.
In the United States, coins have been known to have reeded edges as early as 1795. (There are four specimens of the 1795 Large Cent with reeded edges--one has recently sold for over $1 million).
The US Dime and Quarter Dollar have had reeded edges from their inception in 1796.
Today, the reeding is purely decorative, as there is no incentive to "clip" cladded coins like quarters and dimes.
