It might be to prevent holders from snipping off bits from the rims. I have forgotten the term for this. The 'milling' on the edges of coins is meant to prevent this. In the past, gold coins were 'sweated', i.e., bounced up and down in a leather pouch and the gold flicks collected while the coin was returned to circulation.
