Benny And Kenny
Many viewers may know that Benjamin Franklin, a statesman, scientist and one of the signers of the United States Declaration of Independence, is pictured on the U.S. $100 bill, shown above. But a little known fact is that his younger brother, Kenny, was considered for the $1,000 bill.
The decision was ultimately made to instead feature Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th U.S. president, on the $1,000 bill. But I have managed to lay hands on one of the Kenny Franklin prototype bills, which is pictured here. He actually looked a lot like his brother, doncha think?
...just kidding. I've been fooling around with Photoshop again...with apologies to Ben. π
