Think Benjamin Franklin was just about kites and keys? 🪁 Think again.

Long before his face would appear on the $100 bill, Franklin made money—literally.

A collection of his printed bills is housed with other rare historical currency in the @NDLibraries' Rare Books and Special Collections. Physicist Khachatur Manukyan is working to discover how these valuable pieces were made, what materials they were made from, and how we might preserve them more effectively today.
