I previously posted the 1993 Thomas Jefferson commemorative Silver Dollar from the modern US commemorative coin series and discussed Thomas Jefferson's inventions (See 1993 Thomas Jefferson.)
.

Here's a quick return visit to the third US President for a Gold Dollar from the classic US commemorative coin series: 1903 Louisiana Purchase Exposition Gold Dollar - Jefferson Type.

If you search the internet for inventions by Thomas Jefferson, you will likely encounter sites that tout Jefferson's invention of macaroni. Such web sites/claims are inaccurate.

Check out Thomas Jefferson - Macaroni for a credible history of Jefferson and his fondness for pasta.

Can you take it out of the holder before imaging your coins?
If you read my 7070 topic, you would know why.

While there is justifiable disagreement over who the inventor of the radio was - with Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi at the forefront of the debate - it can't be argued that it was Marconi who developed a working, long-distance wireless device (using some of Tesla's inventions) that sent and received transmissions across the Atlantic Ocean (on December 12, 1901.)

Here's a 100 Lire coin from Italy, issued in 1974, to mark the 100th Anniversary of Marconi's birth. The obverse features a portrait of Marconi; the reverse depicts a Marconi radio transmitter antenna.
