Cent: 16th president Abraham Lincoln (on coin since 1909)

The dollar coin is a little more complicated. In 2007, there were 4 designs, depicting the first four U.S. presidents. In 2008, presidents 5-8 were depicted. In 2009, presidents 9-12 were depicted. This will series will continue until at least 2016, depicting four presidents per year. The tricky thing about this series is that no living persons can be on U.S. coinage... so Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama etc. will not be depicted if they are still living at the time they would come up in the sequence.
Neither are all the presidents on paper money and not all paper money have pictures of presidents. For example Ben Franklin is on the hundred.
presidents refusal to spend money
The pension for former presidents is $196,700 at the present time(2012) plus money for an office and staff for four and one-half years after they leave office. This amount can be adjusted at will by Congress. It is currently tied to the pay of cabinet members. For most of America's history, retired presidents did not receive a pension. In 1958 Congress passed the Former Presidents Act, which gave retired presidents a pension of $25,000 per year, an office, and a staff. Truman and Hoover were the former Presidents in 1958. Presidents who want to make more money usually have no problems getting speaking engagements or getting their books published. They usually get offers to teach as a visiting professor and to serve on corporate boards.
