He isn't anymore. In 2005 the nickel was temporarily redesigned so that Jefferson's portrait also faced to the right. However in 2006 it was turned again and Jefferson faces forward on newer nickels.

The decision as to which direction each portrait faced was just coincidence, due to the medals and other sculptures on which the coins' designs were based.

What is the value of a coin dated 1809 with Abraham Lincoln on the front and Lincoln Memorial on the back?

Abraham Lincoln was born in the year 1809, He died in 1865. You probably saw the date he was born. The mint can only make coins of a president when he is dead, so the earliest date would have to be 1865 and the Lincoln Memorial wasn't built until 1917. So if it had the memorial, then at the earliest time it would have had to be made is in 1917. This coin is probably 1 cent. Look for the date it was made by the right side of his head. It should say the date and then a S should be under it.
