Benedict Arnold was never a loyalist. The only reason why he was a spy was because he needed the money. Just in case you had not known Benedict Arnold was living far beyond his means.
Benedict Arnold was never hanged. He died of fever at age 60.
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.
Yes: " Benedict Arnold was born in Norwich, Connecticut, on January 14, 1741. He married Margaret Mansfield, but she died on June 19, 1775. Four years later he married Peggy Shippen. Arnold opened a druggist shop that also sold books. He also did a lot of traveling for his business. He was in the West Indies when he learned about the Boston Massacre. He reacted by saying, "Are the Americans all asleep and tamely giving up their liberties?" He wrote that the Colonists should take "immediate vengeance!" Image courtesy of Art Today Benedict Arnold was an American general. At the beginning of the Revolution, Benedict Arnold was one of the bravest. Benedict Arnold tricked the British into thinking that thousands and thousands of American forces were heading to Fort Schuyler. There were really less than a thousand were going to the fort. The Americans entered the fort with no enemy, thanks to Benedict Arnold's trick. By 1779, Arnold had been making deals with the British. He did this because he was angry at the American Government for court-marshalling him because they found him guilty of using the army for his own personal reasons. He also went to the British because he wanted more money and he was in debt. The British gave Benedict Arnold a lot of money to become a British spy. They also promised to make him a British officer but they never fully trusted him. Arnold offered to turn West Point over to the British. West Point was an important American fort, and Arnold was the general there. John André was a major in the British army. John André and Benedict Arnold exchanged letters about the plans for West Point. John André was caught by the Americans, and they found the documents in his sock. The documents showed that Benedict Arnold was a traitor. Benedict Arnold escaped from the Americans, and he was never caught. For the rest of his life, he lived in Canada and England. He died in London, England, on June 14, 1801."
No, St. Benedict was never married.
