How many presidents are on US coins?

Answer 1

The United States features presidents on much of its currency. George Washington is on the one dollar bill, Thomas Jefferson on the two dollar bill, Abraham Lincoln on the five, Andrew Jackson on the twenty dollar bill and Ulysses S. Grant on the fifty. The ten and hundred dollar bills do not feature presidents.

Answer 2

Twenty-six presidents have appeared on US coins so far. They are the first 23 presidents plus Franklin Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Kennedy.

The mint is in the process of issuing a series of one-dollar coins honoring all the presidents in order, four per year. A Wm. McKinley coin is scheduled for 2/19/13

Answer 3

The faces on current bills in the United States are: $1 - George Washington, 1st President of the United States $2 - Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President $5 - Abraham Lincoln, 16th President $10 - Alexander Hamilton, 1st Secretary of the Treasury $20 - Andrew Jackson, 7th President $50 - Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President $100 - Benjamin Franklin, Diplomat and Signatory of the Declaration of Independence

Answer 4

$1 - George Washington

$2 - Thomas Jefferson

$5 - Abraham Lincoln

$20 - Andrew Jackson

$50 - Ulysses S. Grant

(The $10 and $100 bills feature Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin, respectively; they did not serve as President. )

The following bills are no longer in use:

$500 - William McKinley

$1,000 - Grover Cleveland

$5,000 - James Madison

$10,000 - Salmon P. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury from 1861-1864

$100,000 gold certificate never in general circulation - Woodrow Wilson

Answer 5

According to the Wikipedia article, "List of United States Presidents by currency appearances", the following U.S. presidents have been featured on U.S. paper money:

John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Grover Cleveland, James A. Garfield, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, James Madison, William McKinley, George Washington, and Woodrow Wilson. (13 presidents)

Currently, the U.S. presidents who are on paper money are:

• John Adams (reverse of $2 bill)
• Ulysses S. Grant (obverse of $50 bill)
• Andrew Jackson (obverse of $20 bill)
• Thomas Jefferson (obverse and reverse of $2 bill)
• Abraham Lincoln (obverse of $5 bill)
• George Washington (obverse of $1 bill)

Answer 6

Technically, the answer is "every president except Carter, the Bushes, and Obama" because the Presidential Dollar series has used (or will use) portraits of every former US president who's no longer living.

For current-issue bills, the answer is 5:

1. Washington - $1
2. Jefferson - $2
3. Lincoln - $5
4. Jackson - $20
5. Grant - $50

Hamilton ($10) and Franklin ($100) were extremely important figures in US history but neither served as president.

Other presidents such as Cleveland, Madison, Wilson, and others were on bills that are no longer produced.

For current coins other than Presidential dollars the answer is also 5:

1. Lincoln - 1¢
2. Jefferson - 5¢
3. Franklin D. Roosevelt - 10¢
4. Washington - 25¢
5. Kennedy - 50¢

Eisenhower also was on $1 coins minted from 1971 to 1978.

Answer 7

George Washington on the $1 bill and 25 cent coin.

Thomas Jefferson on the $2 bill and 5 cent coin.

Abraham Lincoln on the $5 bill and 1 cent coin.

When you take into account the modern Presidential dollar coins, so far every President up through Grover Cleveland is on a $1 coin, including Andrew Jackson (on the $20 bill) and Ulysses S. Grant (on the $50 bill).

Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill and Benjamin Franklin on the $100 were not Presidents. Meanwhile, Franklin D. Roosevelt on the 10 cent coin and John F. Kennedy on the 50 cent coin are not featured on any paper currency.

Answer 8

Including both current and obsolete denominations, nine different Presidents have been featured on currency.
