It will be next October 27 when the United States Mint will issue the seventh coin in the "American Innovation" series, dedicated to the State of Massachusetts and the invention of the telephone, whose union is Alexander Graham Bell who patented the telephone in 1876 being a resident in the city of Boston, capital of the State of Massachusetts.

On March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell spoke these famous words on a device he invented to transmit the human voice: “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you. Bell's assistant Thomas Watson, who was in the next room, got the message and the communication was forever changed. Bell was granted a patent for his telephone, and his find marked the beginning of a technology that today remains one of the most important communication resources in our daily lives.

Actually the first telephone was invented by the Italian Antonio Meucci, who in 1854 built his first prototype, although he did not formalize his patent due to financial difficulties. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was the first to formally patent it, and for many years he was considered the inventor of the telephone.

On June 11, 2002, the Congress of the United States of America approved resolution 269, in which it is recognized that the true inventor of the telephone was Antonio Meucci, who called it a telephone.


The ingenious design on the reverse of the coin represents the dial of one of the first rotary dial telephones, popularly known as rotary telephones. The inscriptions are "Tele-phone" in the center, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" at the bottom, and "MASSACHUSETTS" at the top.

Designer: Emily Damstra

Designed by Justin Kunz and engraved by Phebe Hemphill, the obverse features the same design common to the entire series, featuring the image of the Statue of Liberty in profile and the inscriptions "$ 1" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" (IN GOD WE TRUST).
