It doesn't make sense to me why people throw pennies , nickels, and quarters on his grave . Throw $100 bills, that's what has his face on it!
If you pay extra for a map of the grave yard, be sure and ask them where the secret tunnels are beneath the graves in the central part of the graveyard .
On a budget? You can view the grave from the street and save yourself the $2 admission fee. Just be sure to toss a penny on the headstone for good luck
Peaceful and quite. It's a great place to see.
Franklin composed his own epitaph which read: the body of B. Franklin, Printer, Like the cover of an old book , its contents torn out.
$5 to enter or you can view the grave from the sidewalk.
Although Ben Franklin is the most notable member here, there are a total of five signers of the Declaration of Independence who call this their final resting place
Save yourself the $2 and see his grave from the fence
This is a nice place 2 go 2 and see the grave of Benjamin Franklin.
It's actually costs money (2$) to go inside a graveyard ....never heard of it.
Try to land your coin heads up for even better luck!
It is customary to toss pennies upon his grave as the saying goes , a penny saved is a penny earned." all money goes to charity
Leave a penny for Poor Richard; he earned it.
Thanks Ben.
Not worth the admission price. Just take picture thru gate right by Ben Franklin grave . Kinda dumb they charge.

The free self-guided was tour was well worth my trip to the city. The building is conveniently located in the heart of the city. Gift shop could have more of a variety of uncirculated coins to sell. - Rodrigo Vera
