I'm pretty sure it's the ant who are counting the number of ridges on dimes. They're the only ones who have time. :)

Those coffee plantations must be huge!

Mosquitoes have teeth.

Havejoy, you bring joy :) That ant line was great. :lol:

That's great to know!

A dime has 118 ridges around the edge. (Now that one is very important haha)

Do you know why the ridges are on the dimes and quarters?

Back when they were made of silver, there were dishonest people who shaved the silver off the edges of the coins. Putting the ridges on them stopped that.
