Benjamin Franklin

You were much more than a man with a kite and a key. By being a founding father of a new country, your signature can be seen on some great documents. Helping with the Declaration of independence, in our history, you made an auspicious presence. Your many accomplishments can be considered great. You were seen on half-dollars from nineteen forty-eight until fifteen years later in nineteen sixty-three when they bumped you off in favor of John Kennedy. However, your prominent image we can see still, on the Federal Reserve’s one hundred dollar bill.
