On US paper money why do some Presidents face one way and some another?

Presidential dollar portraits are usually based on painted portraits of them. Whichever way they faced in the original portrait (which may vary by the artist's or the President's own preference) would be followed in the dollar portrait.

The direction in which the portrait of a President faces on US paper money has simply been a matter of artistic preference. There is no specific rule or requirement dictating which way the President should face. Some Presidents face to the left, while others face to the right, depending on the design choice of the Treasury Department and the engraver at the time the note was created.

What is a disadvantage of coins?
They weigh more than paper money so they are more difficult to carry around. They cost more to make relative to their face value than paper money relative to its face value ....... If you throw a coin at someone they will say "ouch" when it hits them, if you throw paper money at someone they will say "thanks dude"
