  2. [ I assume you mean "quarter," although "quater" is farsi for "quarter."

    http://www.babylon.com/definition/quater...  ]

    ***The technical term for "wedges," grooves," and "edges" on a quarter is "reeds."

    According to ArcaMax Publishing > Knowledge > Trivia:  There are 119 "reeds" or "grooves" on the edge of a quarter.

    This is substantiated by Enchanted Learning on a site devoted to the quarter coin:
