Because coins were once made of precious metals, the public would once shave off the edges of the coin and keep the small pieces for themselves. This practice was called coin clipping and this can also be attributed to European coins as far back as the 4th & 5th centuries. They would use the shavings/clippings to create another forged coin for additional currency
