Although Franklin was a significant "founding father" of the USA and his work towards independence was significant, no, he was never the President of the US. Contrary to popular belief, Franklin is NOT the only non-president to grace American currency. Alexander Hamilton ($10 bill) and Salmon Chase ($10,000 bill -only circulated for a short time and no longer) were never a US president.

∙ 14y agoGeorge Washington is actually the first president of the United States of America while Ben Franklin was never a president at all. Ben Franklin does receive the distinction of being the only person who was not a president whose face is on American currency. Ben Franklin's face graces the $100 dollar bill. (Thus when you hear the term "It's all about the Franklins" it refers to something being all about the money involved)
