Because even though he was not a president, he is considered one of the founding fathers of the United States.
There's no law requiring that the people shown on US bills or coins be former presidents. Alexander Hamilton was never president either and he's on the $10 bill. The practice of featuring presidents became common in the 1920s but before that time many individuals were featured - explorers, scientists, cabinet members, military leaders, even Martha Washington appeared on US paper money.

∙ 11y agoBecause he was one of our most influential Founding Fathers, even though he never became the President of the United States. Many of America's most prominent political figures and even members of the clergy sought his advice. Mr. Franklin was the first U.S. ambassador to France, as well as being an author, a commentator, a scientist, a printer, an inventor, and the President of Pennsylvania-- what we today would call a "governor." In addition to being on money, he is also honored on a U.S. postage stamp.
