Benjamin (currency)

A benajmin (lower case) was the unofficial name for a hundred dollars in the currency of the United States on the Home timeline, which had gone through a period of hyeperinflation. A single dollar was a nearly worthless aluminium coin; even a benajmin was not worth very much, not even enough to pay for a single bus fare.

Though never explicitly stated, the benajmin's name apprently derived from its bearing the picture of Benajmin Franklin.
