The first president to appear on a US circulating coin would be Abraham Lincoln. In 1909 Lincoln replaced Liberty on the Indian Head cent. However, other presidents such as Washington were considered for other coins such as the nickel prior to 1909, but were eventually passed on for other designs.
Other than the White House, Lincoln's last home was the Lincoln Home in Springfield, Illinois. This building is now known as the Lincoln Home National Historic Site.
