Sin duda, Franklin es uno de los personajes más fascinantes de la historia de Estados Unidos. Y es que más allá de su faceta como político, fue un prolífico inventor. Debemos a su ingenio el pararrayos, el cuentakilómetros, las lentes bifocales..., así como algunos interesantes ensayos sobre el ajedrez o las corrientes marinas. Todos estos motivos justifican que su rostro aparezca impreso en los billetes de 100 dólares.
