Doesn't "milled coin" refer to the miling or reeding on the edge of a coin, put there to deter shaving of the edges? - Dominus 03:19, 21 Aug 2003 (UTC)

  • Confusingly, I believe it means both a reeded edge and machine produced. I'm not sure which term came first. M123 03:29, 21 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Technically, I believe they are two different terms: milled coinage for the machine struck process and milled edge for the reeding, etc. Were there any milled edges before the advent of milled coinage? I don't know. --Qwertypoiuy 02:58, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
