Here are some of the latest acquisitions: The LIGHTBULB from Niue is one of my favorites to date
A very special commemorative coin on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the first light bulb factory. By gently pressing the reverse side, the built-in LED lights up in the hand of the viewer, almost like the delightful flash of inspiration which this ingenious inventor once had! Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931), came up with no fewer than 2,000 inventions, particularly in the fields of power plant engineering and electricity. He patented more than half of his innovations, including dictating machines and electric fuses. In most cases, Edison’s brilliance was based far less on his devising completely new inventions and much more on his ability to develop ideas that already existed, making them into marketable and commercially viable innovations. Above all, it was with the light bulb – to which Edison ‘merely’ added a user-friendly filament rather than inventing the idea from scratch – that the inventor secured his place in people’s memory and lightened up their everyday lives in dramatic fashion.
