Hoover is not on any US coins. He is scheduled for a $1 coin in 2014 as part of the on-going series honoring each president. Many mints have produced medals of the US presidents which resemble coins . Some foreign countries have minted coins with US presidents on them to sell to Americans- one of them may picture Hoover.
When the Philadelphia Mint began producing coins in 1793, George Washington was still in office, and there was a preference against featuring living people on coins. Through the entire 19th Century, all U.S. coins featured variations of Lady Liberty.
Not counting Miss Liberty, nameless Native Americans, and the subjects of commemorative coins, there are Benjamin Franklin, Susan B. Anthony, Sacagawea (and her baby) . I think that's all.

All US Vice Presidents are not yet dead.
You should know that..............
Purely an artistic decision. And not all presidents are facing any particular direction. Jefferson faces forward on the new 5¢ pieces issued starting in 2006 as do many of the images on Presidential $1 coins, for example.
Assuming US coins: -- 3 dollar coins -- 2 dimes -- 1 quarter
Many US presidents have specific coins minted in their honor. For example, George Washington appears on the quarter, Thomas Jefferson on the nickel, Abraham Lincoln on the penny, Franklin D. Roosevelt on the dime, and John F. Kennedy on the half-dollar.
