Answer 1:

its called scrub you scrub Answer 2: The roughened or designed edge of a coin is called the milled or reeded edge. The reeding was introduced to demonstrate that the edge of the coin had not been filed, saved or clipped. (Back when the metal of the coin carried its true worth). It continues today as an aesthetic device.

The British numismatic term for the reeded ridged edge is "graining" and the reeds are called "crenellations".
