Why does Lincoln face the right side of a penny when all of the other presidents face the left?

There is no special reason for this. The way the presidents face is not determined by any law but is determined by the designer.

Why is the head on penny the only coin that head faces the right?
The Abraham Lincoln penny was minted in 1908 to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of Lincoln's birth. In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt chose portraitist and sculptor Victor David Brenner to design the penny, probably because he admired Brenner's previous works of art. Those works included a bronze relief plaque bearing a portrait of Lincoln. Brenner adapted this design for the "heads," or obverse side of the penny. He based the plaque on a photograph of Lincoln taken on Feb. 9, 1864 by Anthony Berger. Lincoln faced right in the photo, so he faces right on the plaque and faces right on the penny.

What does a Lincoln and Kennedy penny look like?
These coins are novelty items made by private companies. They take ordinary Lincoln cents and stamp a small image of JFK in the space to the right of Lincoln's picture, making it appear the two Presidents are looking at each other. Many times these coins are attached to a card listing supposed "astonishing coincidences" in their lives. Unfortunately some of the "coincidences" require stretching history more than a bit.
