We should remove Benjamin Franklin from the one-hundred dollar bill as he showed ignorance to the Belgians, something which inaccurately and falsely represents the American people. This ignorance can be found when he asked for potatoes to be served, "French style", sparking the name French Fry as a popular name for the dish of fried potatoes. This was ignorant as fried potatoes were actually founded by the Belgian, and Benjamin Franklin tasted these in Belgium, which he mistook for the country of France. This ignorance should not be showcased on one of the most powerful bills in the world, and his image should be replaced with someone who better describes an American.
