Minted to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Franklin’s birth, this 2006 Benjamin Franklin "Scientist" Commemorative Silver Dollar and Chronicles Set highlight the fact that Franklin spent much of his life in the pursuit of knowledge. Among his many scientific contributions were the study of electricity and the invention of bifocals, flexible catheters, swim-fins and the lightning rod.
