Meet Our Power Saver Superheroes
Our Superhero Benny
“I like to read, play games, build and invent things. I often drive Nickelette crazy at times with my jokes. She’ll laugh even if she doesn’t think they’re funny because she’s my best friend. Together we’re an unbeatable team!”
Our Superhero Nickelette
“I LOVE nickels! I believe that nickels are the most unappreciated coin we have. Think about it. It has more value than a penny, more substance than a dime, and they can add up so FAST! You’ll often find me passing out nickels in the hopes that people will come to appreciate them as much as I do.”

Benny is one of our Power Saver superheroes. He is named after one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and the man on the $100 bill, Benjamin Franklin. Like Benjamin Franklin, Benny likes science, inventing things, and reading. He is always trying new and fun things and looks for ways to help out in the community. Benny tries to save his money but with the cost of things for his experiments he is not always the best at saving! He’ll keep trying though and with the help of his best friend, Nickelette, he’s sure to succeed!
