Which president is the only one facing to the right on US coins?

Abraham Lincoln faces to the right because the design of the coin was based on a medal that had his image that direction. Also, Jefferson's portrait faces right on the Westward Journey nickels struck in 2005, so Lincoln is not the only president facing that direction. The choice of direction for a portrait is purely artistic. There is no law or political reason for the selection.

No, and there is no special significance that Lincoln is facing right. The Franklin Half Dollar minted from 1948-1963 has Benjamen Franklin facing right. Barber dimes, quarters and half-dollars minted from 1892-1916 has Liberty facing right. The Susan B Anthony Dollar minted from 1979-1999 has Susan B Anthony facing right. The Sacajawea Dollar minted from 2000-present has Sacajawea facing right. Many other historical US coins have also been minted with Liberty facing right, including the Chain Cent and Liberty Cap cent.

Why is Abraham Lincoln facing the right and all others on the nickel dime quarter are facing the left?

The coin's designer, Victor David Brenner, based the image on a medal he had created earlier. The direction of portraits on American coins is not determined by any laws or custom, but solely by the preference of the artists who designed them. In fact, Lincoln is not the only president whose image faces to the right. The modernistic portrait of Thomas Jefferson used on the 2005 Lewis and Clark nickels also is right-facing and his portrait on 2006 and later nickels is in a 3/4-right orientation. Images on the Presidential Dollars face in all directions, and on older coins those of Miss Liberty are about equally split between left and right.


Why does Barack Obama deserve to be on a bill?

He doesn't right now, because only a president who has been deceased for a long period of time can be on our bills or coins. As the first black president in our history, he may someday be on a bill or a coin, but it is doubtful it will happen in our lifetime.
