Best Answer

he first coin minted in honor of a U.S. President was the 'Washington Pieces' dating from 1783 to 1795. It wasn't until 1909 that the next President's coin, the Lincoln Cent, was issued for his 100th birthday. Next came the Washington Quarter, issued as a commemorative on the 200th anniversary of his birth in 1932.

8-5-11>>> For regular issue coins made by the US Mint it was Lincoln in 1909 on the cent. But Jefferson was depicted on the 1903 Louisiana Purchase Exposition gold commemorative one dollar coins. Also tokens, cents and half-cents of English origin bearing a very good likeness of Washington are dated 1783-1795.

None of the presidents whose likenesses are on American coins were alive when the coins were struck and circulated. Penny - Lincoln; Nickel - Jefferson; Dime - Roosevelt; Quarter - Washington; Half Dollar - Franklin; Silver Dollar - Eisenhower, Kennedy.
