??????? Think about it for a minute. Sitting presidents are NEVER shown on coins or bills.

Back in the early 1790s George Washington (the guy on the $1 bill) refused to allow his image to appear because it reminded him of putting the King's picture on coins and bills, and we'd just fought a war to break away from the monarchy. That rule hasn't changed in over 200 years.
