Thomas Jefferson is on the current US nickel.
His portrait was chosen when the nickel came up for redesign after the familiar Indian Head design had been minted for the required 25 year period. Lincoln had been placed on the cent in 1909, and it was felt that Jefferson also deserved a place of honor because he was one of the Founding Fathers and Washington had been put on the quarter just a few years earlier, in 1932.
