If in doubt, pick the word you haven't heard of, since there's no other reason for it to be there. Poor quiz compilation.
The modern cardboard version (known as a sleeve).... So how is sleeve not the answer? They didn't mention the original in any capacity until the explanation!
#27 Sheath is also a correct term in British English: Shetah noun 4. the protective covering on an electric cable
Jacket is also correct in US English. That was a bad one.

the ridged edges on a coin aren't to make the hard to counterfeit. That makes it obvious if some shaved the edges off to collect precious metal. Back when they were made from metal, you could take a millimeter off and it would still pass as a normal coin. the ridges make that visible.

It's a technicality but 'milled edge' refers to the milling process that creates the ridges or 'reeds' on the coins, so 'milled' is the process and 'reeded' is the effect it creates.
