It's federal law that no living man or woman can appear on U.S. coins. It has been custom since the beginning of the minting of coins for the king's images to be on them so the founders who were anti royalists had a tradition of not putting living presidents on coins. This later became law.
Every U.S. president will be getting their face on a golden dollar coin as long as they have been dead for at least two years at the time of issuing. The coins are being issued by the order of their presidency, with four presidents a year. Grover Cleveland will be getting two coins since he was the 22nd and 24th president.
Any who is no longer alive at the time the coin is scheduled for striking. At this point that encompasses every president except Carter, Clinton, Bush I and Bush 2. Remember, the coins are only "golden", not real gold.
The first was Abraham Lincoln on the 1909 Cent. Then came Washington on the 1932 Quarter. Third is Jefferson on the 1938 Nickel. Next is Franklin D Roosevelt who appeared on the 1946 Dime. John Kennedy came on the 1964 Half Dollar. Finally, Dwight D. Eisenhower appeared on the 1971 Dollar coin, rounding out the first six. Benjamin Franklin did appear on the half dollar in 1948, but he was never a President. Beginning in 2007, the US Mint has been issuing Dollar coins with the Presidents on them, four issues a year, in order of their Presidency.
