What is reeding on a coin?
"Reeding" is the special term used to describe the ridges found on the edges of many coins. Reeding was originally used on coins containing precious metals like gold or silver to make if obvious if anyone had "scraped" a coin. Scraping is the illegal practice of using a sharp instrument to remove a tiny amount of metal from the edge of a coin. Individually, each coin only loses a small amount of metal but a criminal could accumulate a significant amount of metal by scraping large quantities of coins. Today, many countries use reeding or variations of it to make it easier for people with limited vision to identify coins by touch. For example, in the EU some euro coins have close reeding (i.e. a lot of thin ridges), others have wide reeding (a smaller number of thicker ridges), and still others have interrupted reeding (alternating patterns of smooth and reeded portions)

Why are there grooves on a quarter?
The grooves are called "reeding" and are a holdover from the days when coins were made of silver. Before reeding was introduced, criminals would scrape the edges of silver coins, removing a small amount of metal from each one until they accumulated enough to sell, a practice called shaving. Edges were reeded to make it easier to detect when a coin had been shaved. Today many countries, but not the US, use distinctive patterns of reeding on the edges of their coins to make them distinguishable by touch which helps people with visual impairments.
What was his famous book ever written?
I don't know who "he" is but my opinion for the greatest book written would be Don Quixote, which is the story of a middle-aged man in post-medieval La Mancha, Spain, who read many books of knighthood and chivalry, and went crazy thinking he was a knight himself. He then wears his great grandfather's armor, and makes his farmer neighbor Sancho Panza follow him on a donkey as his squire. One of his crazed adventures brings him upon windmills which he believes them to be giants who are trying to destroy him.

Why are the edges of some coins notched?
The actual term is "reeded" rather than "notched". Reeded edges prevent thieves from clipping coins. That is shaving metal metal off the edges. Dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and dollar coins all were made of silver until 1964. Pennies and nickels do not have precious metal in their mix. The US continued to use reeding on the edges of dimes, quarters, and half dollars even though they were changed to copper-nickel in the 1960s and 1970s. The $1 coins introduced in 2000 are also made of non-precious metals, and have smooth edges to help differentiate them from the other denominations. Many countries now use variations of standard reeding to help make their coins distinguishable by touch as well as sight, especially if they're similar in size. For example some euro coins have wide reeding, others have very narrow reeding, and still others have what's called "interrupted" reeding with interspersed smooth spaces.
