Cent: 16th president Abraham Lincoln (on coin since 1909)

Nickel: 3rd president Thomas Jefferson (on coin since 1938)

Dime: 32nd president Franklin Roosevelt (on coin since 1946)

Quarter dollar: 1st president George Washington (on coin since 1932)

Half dollar: 35th president John Kennedy (on coin since 1964)

The dollar coin is a little more complicated. In 2007, there were 4 designs, depicting the first four U.S. presidents. In 2008, presidents 5-8 were depicted. In 2009, presidents 9-12 were depicted. This will series will continue until at least 2016, depicting four presidents per year. The tricky thing about this series is that no living persons can be on U.S. coinage... so Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama etc. will not be depicted if they are still living at the time they would come up in the sequence.
