Kennedy was born of Boston Irish thug stock. Joe Sr. leveraged his Irish mob connections during prohibition to eventually corner the US scotch market in the '30's. Where womanizing is concerned the dad swapped girls with the boys constantly. Ben Franklin existed before the mob existed. I don't care about his alleged womanizing. He belongs on the 50 cent piece more than does Kennedy. Reagan brought back the walking liberty design ( the 1/2 dollar design prior to Franklin) with which he was familiar when the US began minting 1 oz silver pieces in 1986 and has continued to do so since then.
