Why 10:30AM?
The back and the front of a U.S. $100 Bill showing Independence Hall and backlit to show Benjamin Franklin's face and other details reversed from the front.
Blame it on Crazy Tuesday!
One of the drafters and signers of the Declaration of Independence, Franklin was a Founding Father and an inventor. His credits include the lightning rod, bifocals, the Glass Armonica, swim fins, the Franklin Stove, and others. He did not patent any of these and stated, ""That as we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others, we should be glad of an Opportunity to serve others by any Invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously."
Franklin is only one of two non-Presidents on U.S. currency, the other being Alexander Hamilton.
Independence Hall in Philadelphia is where the Declaration was signed and the U.S. Constitution 11 years later.
The time on the clock is 10:30am. If it was PM, it would be dark! It was changed in 2013 from 4:10pm. No one knows the significance of either time! It's a timeless mystery!
