Because the portrait the image is based on is like that. Hamilton is the only person featured on U.S. currency not born in the United States, as he was from the West Indies. Hamilton is one of two non-presidents featured on currently issued U.S. bills. The other is Benjamin Franklin, on the $100 bill.

Why is lincolns head turned a different direction on a penny than others on silver coins?

The Lincoln Cent was designed by Victor David Brenner and he based it on his bronze plaque of Abraham Lincoln. The plaque was based on a photograph of Lincoln taken in 1864. Lincoln was facing his left in the photograph and therefore was facing his left on the bronze plaque and also facing his left on the cent. This is the only reason Lincoln faces his left on the cent. Let's look at some of the other US coins with the head facing to the left in the past 100 years: Lincoln Cent....................Lincoln faces to his left (the observer's right). Buffalo Nickel..................Indian faces to his left. Barber Dime...................Liberty faces to her left. Barber Quarter..............Liberty faces to her left. Barber Half Dollar...........Liberty faces to her left. Franklin Half Dollar..........Franklin faces to his left Susan B. Anthony Dollar...Susan B. Anthony faces to her left. 2005 Jefferson Nickel.......Jefferson faces to his left.
