If you were born before 1970, you probably sang along to that bright little AT&T advertising jingle and remember dialing a rotary phone. With the advent of cell phones, however, things like land lines, phone books, and bulky telephones exist today only in black-and-white movies that we occasionally see on late-night television. But if you long for the days when you could let your fingers do the walking and dial a friend or loved one from one of those classic devices, then this limited-edition, telephone-shaped coin is the right number for you!

It depicts the Scottish-born inventor sitting at his desk making the first call from his most famous invention. In the coin’s center is a rotary dial with Bell’s centennial years “1922–2022” engraved below. But here’s where this coin will really rings a few bells: The rotary dial depicted in its center has been plated in pure 24-karat gold. What’s more, it’s moveable, so you can actually “dial” it!
