The Congress and the US Mint chose to honor more than just one president on our coins.

In fact, Washington was adamantly opposed to showing his portrait on any coins and insisted on images of Miss Liberty instead. It wasn't until 1909 that a presidential portrait was put on a coin - the familiar image of Lincoln, on the penny.
