Despite his famous presence on the $20 bill, he is not, in fact, a dead president.

Andrew Jackson is on the $20, Benjamin is $100.
Apparently, its all about the Benjamins…
…baby.
…could have sworn it was All About the Pentiums.
He was so great, he didn’t need to become president.
$100 bill has Franklin.
I really jacksoned that up
you’re such a munson
With that kind of up to date information, maybe you shouldn’t vote.
What kind of civics literacy test would you recommend I use to determine if I should vote?
If you grew up in the States, you would have learned who Franklin was somewhere in the 5th to 8th grade public schooling range, so I guess neither of those things happened in your case?
He would have been President if not for Obama!
Neither is Hamilton on the $5 bill.
Huh. I hadn’t really thought that someone would think that being on currency meant that someone is a President until now. I guess the other common current bills do.
Not all coins and bills have had Presidents.
The current dollar coin, which isn’t terribly commonly used, though I do occasionally get one in change, and mostly from subways, has Liberty:

There have been other figures in the past, like Susan B. Anthony.
The hundred dollar bill, which some stores don’t accept, obnoxiously enough, but my most-used ATM likes to hand out, has Hamilton, who also wasn’t a President.
Past printed bill designs remain valid currency in the US, and bills like the $10,000 bill don’t have Presidents.
Hamilton is on the $10. This whole post is wrecking my brain. Benjamin is, theoretically famously, on the $100.
After I first read the post, I thought 10, 100, easy typo. But then saw hundred was written out. And every place accepts 10s.
Ten dollar bill has Hamilton on it…
There’s the Sacajawea dollar coins
I don’t think it’s neccesarily just ‘on currency must imply he was a president’.
But rather that Franklin and Hamilton both are involved in a lot of those early USA events alongside your Washingtons and Jeffersons. Given their enduring popularity and heavy involvement in US politics, it is a little unintuitive to realize they weren’t presidents.
Very good, Gareth.

He was totally a president though. (Of Pennsylvania)

The last line still works though.
That term sorta makes me wish trump was on currency.
However, he is dead at this present dent in my car.
Chat GPT strikes again.
Genuinely mystified as to how chatGPT is being blamed for anything here. Do you just randomly invoke it for upvotes or something?
Because the OP is so confidently incorrect. It’s like neither it’s chat GPT or the OP is ignorant…
Ignorant people are the most likely to learn things today.
