Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, has been on the back of most nickels minted since 1938. The name is in small letters right under the picture.
There were exceptions during the Lewis and Clark bicentennial:
In 2004 the Monticello design was replaced with 2 other designs commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Louis and Clark Expedition. The first was the "Indian Peace Medal" depicting the handshake and the crossed peace pipe and tomahawk. The second was a depiction of the keelboat used in the Louis and Clark expedition.
In 2005 the reverse of the Jefferson nickel again carried 2 different reverses, called the "Westward Journey". The first was a depiction of the American Buffalo and the second was a depiction of the ocean view as Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean. Additionally, for the first time since the Jefferson nickel series began in 1938, the Obverse carried a different pose of Jefferson.
A slightly updated version of the classic Monticello reverse returned in 2006 but again the obverse carried yet another pose of Thomas Jefferson. This version of the nickel is still in production today. [2009]
