No, and there is no special significance that Lincoln is facing right. The Franklin Half Dollar minted from 1948-1963 has Benjamen Franklin facing right. Barber dimes, quarters and half-dollars minted from 1892-1916 has Liberty facing right. The Susan B Anthony Dollar minted from 1979-1999 has Susan B Anthony facing right. The Sacajawea Dollar minted from 2000-present has Sacajawea facing right. Many other historical US Coins have also been minted with Liberty facing right, including the Chain Cent and Liberty Cap cent.

Why is the head on penny the only coin that head faces the right?
The Abraham Lincoln penny was minted in 1908 to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of Lincoln's birth. In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt chose portraitist and sculptor Victor David Brenner to design the penny, probably because he admired Brenner's previous works of art. Those works included a bronze relief plaque bearing a portrait of Lincoln. Brenner adapted this design for the "heads," or obverse side of the penny. He based the plaque on a photograph of Lincoln taken on Feb. 9, 1864 by Anthony Berger. Lincoln faced right in the photo, so he faces right on the plaque and faces right on the penny.
