In general, the only limitation is that no living person can appear on a US coin. Other than that, the image can be that of an actual person such as the current "presidential" series of coins, a symbolic interpretation of a real person (e.g. Sacajawea, a stylized image because no contemporary pictures of here were ever made), iconic images such as Miss Liberty, or designs like the shields on 19th-century 2-cent coins and shield nickels.

On very rare occasions Congress has given its approval to placing the portrait of a living person on a commemorative coin, but almost always as part of a special program such as a fund-raising effort.
