If Benjamin Franklin was never president why is he on the 100 dollar bill. All money notes are supposed to be for dead presidents?

Not true. Where you got the (false) fact that all money notes are for dead presidents I don't know. There are, in fact, money notes for bills over 100 dollars, believe it or not. There were also $500 bills, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, and $100,000 bills. However, these are no longer being made. But on the $10,000 dollar bill, Salmon P. Chase is the person on it. And what about the $10 bill? Alexander Hamilton, the person on there, is not a president but rather the first United States Secretary of the Treasury, a Founding Father, economist, and political philosopher.
