I know you're just following the theme set by the parent commenter, but there are a bunch of us folk on HN who aren't US residents, and have no idea how much those presidents mean in terms of currency.
- dblangford 3y agoA Franklin is more or less two Turings and a Jackson is just less than a Turner.
- nirvdrum 3y agoI'm sorry. I use the currency and had to think about what the values were. I was trying to follow the theme by the previous author, but I can definitely see how that'd be hard for others to follow. It's $360 USD (Franklin = $100 USD, Jackson = $20 USD).
- astura 3y agoIn addition to being confusing for non-Americans, it also confusing for Americans because $100 bills in American slang are "Benjamins," not "Franklins." It's most notable use is in the song "It's All About the Benjamins"
- Dalewyn 3y agoI've heard it both ways myself; I like Franklin better since the others are all last/family names too.
