As a follow up to my Money: Faces on US Currency posting, Curt Moreno posed a question about coins. I felt compelled to respond. Since it is Friday, and I avoid technical posts on Fridays, here goes: Denomination Face on Coin Image (source: Wikipedia) 1 centpenny President Abraham Lincoln 5 centnickel President Thomas Jefferson 10 centdime President Franklin D. Roosevelt 25 centquarter President George Washington 50 centhalf dollar President John F. Kennedy $1dollar First Woman to Vote, Susan B. Anthony $1dollar Explorer Sacagawea There are actually numerous $1 coins commemorative of US Presidents. The coins I have listed are the commonly used coins. So in terms of statesmen who are both bills and coins, the list would include: Abraham Lincoln (penny and $5 bill), Thomas Jefferson (nickel and $2 bill), and George Washington (quarter and $1 bill). Unearthing common but uncommonly know facts is alive in the lab. Go to the http://labs.blogs.com/its_alive_in_the_lab/2010/07/money-faces-on-us-coins.html - original post...
