  • The ritual of tossing pennies onto Franklin's grave has been blamed for causing the crack. Tens of thousands of coins are thrown onto the marker each year in tribute of Franklin's famous adage, "a penny saved, is a penny earned."
Another possibility is the disturbance of the soil from Ben spinning in his grave after watching the Trump campaign.

The trust has received grants to restore the gravestone but is seeking another $10,000 for the project.
That's a lot of Benjamins...

Which reminds me of that old adage: "A Benny shaved is a Benny urned."
