Well, in Canada the Loonie has 12 sides along its edge
while the Quarter has a uniform ridging on it's edge.
As far as I understand, the new US dollar coin is mandated
to have a "distinctive"edge as well.

As you probably know, a polygonal coin still has to be
able to roll, in order to make it suitable for vending
machines.
