He was a popular President and died in office . People wanted to honor him in some special way and the dime seemed liked a good choice because Roosevelt had founded the anti-polio group that used the March of dimes as its annual fund-raiser. Lincoln was already on the penny but the dime had only an allegorical figure of Mercury.
