Fact Check
The claim is False.
NewsMeter began its investigation by performing a keyword search. However, we could not find any credible reports or information related to the viral claim.
On further investigation, we started looking for the viral picture on the official website of the Department of the Treasury. According to the information available on the website, the Federal Reserve currently issues notes of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. The design of the 100-dollar note has been changed four times. But each time the picture of Benjamin Franklin has been put on the note. It has never happened that a leader of another country has featured on the dollar.
