Current circulating US Dollar coins have several portraits. The Native American series (2000-present) has a portrait is of Sacagawea, who was a guide to the Lewis & Clark expedition. The Presidential series (2007-present) depicts U.S. presidents in order of service, 4 portraits per year. These coins are made of brass.

Going backwards in time, the dollar designs are: * Susan B. Anthony : 1979-1981, 1999 (copper-nickel)

* Dwight D. Eisenhower : 1971-1978 (copper-nickel) * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Peace" dollars 1921-1935 (90% silver) * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Morgan" dollars 1878-1904, 1921 * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Seated Liberty" dollars 1836-1873 * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Draped Bust" dollars 1795-1804 * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : "Flowing Hair" dollars 1794-1795 During 1873-1885 the Trade dollar was also made. These were minted for trade with other countries, and were not considered legal tender in the US, although many companies paid their workers with the coins. From 1849-1889 there were two different gold dollar coin designs made. The gold dollar was significantly smaller than the traditional silver dollar, so it was not quite as popular. Portraits were: * stylized portrait of Lady Liberty : 1849-1854 * stylized portrait of a Native American Princess : 1854-1889 For more information, see the Related Link "CoinFacts: Silver Dollars" (which includes the Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea designs, even though neither have been issued in silver) and "CoinFacts: Gold Dollars" to the right.

  • Abraham Lincoln is on the cent & the $5 bill
  • Thomas Jefferson is on the nickel & the $2 bill
  • Franklin Delano Roosevelt, AKA FDR is on the dime.
  • George Washington is on the quarter & the $1 bill
  • John F. Kennedy is on the half dollar coin
  • Susan B. Anthony is on the old 1 dollar coin, minted in 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1999 but still legal tender.
  • "Sacagewea" is on the current brass 1 dollar coin. In 2000, the United States Mint issued the Sacagawea dollar coin in her honor, depicting Sacagawea and her son, Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau. The face on the coin was modeled on a modern Shoshone-Bannock woman named Randy'L He-dow Teton. No contemporary image of Sacagawea exists.
  • All non-living US presidents are depicted on Presidential $1 coins. These are made of the same alloy as Sacagawea dollars
  • Alexander Hamilton is on the $10 bill
  • Andrew Jackson is on the $20 bill
  • Ulysses S. Grant is on the $50 bill
  • Benjamin Franklin is on the $100 bill

The following denominations were once in circulation but haven't been printed since 1945; since 1969 banks are no longer allowed to distribute them:

  • William McKinley is on the $500 bill
  • Grover Cleveland is on the $1,000 bill
  • James Madison is on the $5,000 bill
  • Salmon P. Chase is on the $10,000 bill
  • Woodrow Wilson is on the $100,000 bill. That bill was never circulated and was only used to transfer money between Federal Reserve banks.

Hold the bill very carefully. Focus on the picture, move your eyes downward, and read the name printed below the portrait.
