Benjamin Franklin and Numismatics

Benjamin Franklin is today recognized by even casual numismatists through his longtime depiction on American medals, coins, and currency. Franklin, however, was more than a Founding Father worthy of commemoration on our current money. Indeed, Franklin was directly involved in the creation of paper money and coinage of early America, and in this video, we explore Franklin’s connections to our earliest numismatics.

Thank You for this video.
Benjamin Franklin was a truly brilliant, talented, gentleman and his accomplishments make a very long list, and many of those are still used today.
What's crazy is that you mentioned quite a few of his accomplishments and how his contributions helped build The U.S. and gain it's independance, yet you barely scratched the surface of ALL Franklin's genius and social skills.
