A dedication to understanding the world around him and an ability to envision a brighter future were the driving forces of Alexander Graham Bell's (1847-1922) life. In honour of the 175th anniversary of his birth, the 2022 Proof Dollar celebrates Bell's lifelong commitment to science, innovation and ingenuity.
More than just the telephone, Bell's many inventions and varied pursuits made him a significant contributor to our modern world. Those contributions, along with key words from his life story, are listed in the word-art portrait featured on the 2022 Proof Dollar, which harnesses the power of language to present a more complete picture of this Great Inventor.
