Who convinced the french to aid the american colonists?
There was no specific "who" regarding why the French entered the American Revolution with the Patriots. It was, rather, at the Battle of Saratoga, where the Rebel forces had managed to defeat the British, demonstrating that they could win the war, with support from other European nations. In addition, the French and English did not think highly of each-other, which encouraged them to indirectly weaken their rival, just across the English Channel.

Why is haudenosaunee on the dollar coin?
It refers to the Six Nations Iroquois tribes. They are called "People of the Longhouse" or Haudenosaunee. Their unified tribes were an inspiration to the formation of the new United States. Benjamin Franklin demonstrated this by showing that one arrow will break, yet more of them (6 for Six Nations) will be virtually unbreakable. He "borrowed" this point from them which came from their formation of the original Five Nations (later six when the Tuscarora joined the league).
