A portrait of Benjamin Franklin, diplomat, inventor and signatory of the Declaration of Independence, appears on the front of the US $100 bill.
That honor goes to Benjamin Franklin; it is one of two bills to show the image of someone other than a US president. The other is the US $10 bill, which sports a portrait of Alexander Hamilton. On September 27, 1995, the government unveiled a redesigned US $100 bill. In an attempt to deter counterfeiters, new features included a watermark of Franklin and optically variable ink that changes color when viewed at different angles. The government has announced plans to release another version of the C-note, this time including a security thread made up of some 650,000 tiny lenses and microprinting. According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, a US $100 bill has an average lifespan of five years before it is replaced due to wear.
