Was Benedict Arnold on a coin?
No, Benedict Arnold has never been on a coin and never will be at least in the USA. The American government will never give him that honor ever. Personally I wish he actually were on a coin, possibly in some American Revolutionary coin set. But it will never happen from the United States Mint. His only chance to be on a coin someday would be the UK's Royal Mint or possibly Canada's Mint as Arnold lived there after the war and had a shipping business in New Brunswick. But even then the odds of him appearing on one of their coins someday are extremely slim if not ZERO. I'd say in our lifetime we will never see Benedict Arnold on any coin of any nation - but it's a cool idea and a LOT of people would buy it.
What did Benedict Arnold to to become a traitor?
Benedict Arnold became a traitor because he did not agree with America.He was a great general and will always be remembered. Benedict Arnold was dissatisfied with his treatment by the Congress and other army officers, feeling he was not getting the recognition he deserved for his part in major battles, like the one at Saratoga. He then approached the British with a plan to turn over the American fort at West Point, New York to the British. West Point was extremely important to the colonists because it commanded the Hudson River and prevented British warships from sailing down from Canada and cutting the New England colonies off from the rest of the colonies. When the plan was found out, he escaped to England and became an officer in the British army. At Saratoga, Arnold had played a major role in the winning of the battle and was even wounded in the leg. Horatio Gates took the honors though. Later, a comment was made by colonial soldiers about Arnold to the effect that if they ever caught him,he would be hanged as a traitor but that the leg that was wounded at Saratoga would be cut off and buried with full military honors. He was considered a traitor in 1779.
