franklin friday
a few interesting tidbits:
U.S. statesman, inventor, and diplomat Benjamin Franklin is currently featured on the obverse of the bill, while Independence Hall is featured on the reverse.
The bill is one of two current notes that does not feature a President of the United States. The other is the United States ten-dollar bill, featuring Alexander Hamilton.
It is the largest denomination that has been in circulation since July 14, 1969, when the higher denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $100,000 were retired.
The "average life" of a $100 bill in circulation is 60 months before it is replaced due to wear.
Approximately 7% of all notes produced today are $100 bills.
One-hundred dollar bills are delivered by Federal Reserve Banks in mustard-colored straps.
