The bald guy with glasses. He's on the 100 dollar bill. Come on... he has to be famous outside of the U.S. He was an inventor. He discovered electricity and invented Almanacs, kites, the newspaper comic strip and The Franklin Mint Collection. The last of which the world could do without. Then again, everyone has an off day from time to time. He was never president. He was however the first American spy. The only reason he was on a bill (and the highest of the common bills, natch) was because he owned the original printing press money was printed on.
