Good heavens no. You monarchists do that sort of thing; we republicans do not. In fact, no actual person of any kind appeared on US coins until the Lincoln (centennial) cent in 1909, and that was initially intended to be temporary.

ALERT: We interrupt this thread for an important national security alert. I have this evening uncovered the nefarious plot being orchestrated by Fluffy and her minions to undermine the entire US economy!

There I was in the store buying my discount meatloaf dinner, and as I left and looked at the change I received, what did I find but this counterfeit, masquerading as a dime! The plan is obvious: they are infiltrating these worthless tokens into our system, and then once all the American money has been replaced, they will expose the plan and all we have in our banks will be declared worthless. The whole global elite is controlling this at Fluffy's direction, I am sure. Wake up sheeple! 8O 8O

Went to a thrift shop yesterday, and some random dude asked me out of nowhere if I was interested in a Karl XI 1666 1/6 öre coin. So...that happened.

The underground vault with the Olympic sized swimming pool and collection of stuffed former enemies, or the one you keep your nuclear submarine in?

We're actually remonarchiseing you, one coin at a time.

The most recent President on bills or coins is John F. Kennedy on the rarely used (these days) half dollar coin. These were introduced less than a year after he was assassinated.

No, no, not those — the other one.

As long as you don't try to de-decimali(z/s)e us, I'm OK with that.

^We aren't up to all that anymore and are comfortably decimalized ourselves. It used to be (before my time) twenty shillings to a pound and twelve pence to each shilling so each pound had 240 pence. A guinea (to confuse things) was twenty one shillings, and then there's farthings, florins, and crowns to contend with.

It's nice we still have the penny; it's been around since the seventh century.
