I wonder what would happen if you were to show someone a Two Cent coin.

Who's buried in Grant's Tomb? No one, as the punchline goes, since Grant and his wife are entombed—not buried—in sarcophagi, raised on a dais, and watched over by the busts of Civil War generals.

Fun fact: the Mercury dime and the Indian Head cent actually feature the same person(ification), just dressed up differently (as Mercury and as a Native American chief, respectively).

(OTOH, the type formerly known as the Indian Head nickel is in fact supposed to feature a Native American.)

The mercury design came from the Indian Head cent, but the Indian Head cent design came from the liberty head of the preceding large cent.
