Franklin is on the US $100 because of his many contributions to the formation of the country. He was one of the Founding Fathers, a primary author of the Constitution, a diplomat, inventor, scientist, author, philosopher, musician, and postmaster, just to name a few of the incredible number of things he accomplished.

Benjamin Franklin was

put on the hundred dollar bill

because Ben Franklin was one

of the head colonist before the

American revolution and was

appointed to represent the colony

of Pennsylvania. He was a major

influence on one of the wealthiest

countries of his time, France. Ben

Franklin took it upon himself to

presued the French ruler (King

Louis) and got him to fund the

American revolution after hearing

of the American battle won in

Saratoga. He used to wear his

Raccoon made hats to several

parties in which would turn out to

be the reason why the French would

fun our war effort. Makes Sense...he

supplied money for us to be able to

have "the dollar" so why not put him on the 100$ Bill

Ben Franklin is not on the $50 bill, only the $100. Ulysses Grant is on the $50 bill. The two men lived at very different times and bear no resemblance to one another.
