1 Dollar (Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary, Scientist)

The Franklin 'Scientist' Dollar — a kite, a key, and a cut-up snake

In 2006 the U.S. Mint put a kite-flying young Benjamin Franklin on one face of a silver dollar — and on the other, the chopped-up snake from the first political cartoon ever printed in America. One coin, two ideas Franklin gave the country: how to think, and how to unite.
