Technically I will give this one to you. For regular U.S. issue you are right.
However,
The Lafayette Dollar bears Lafayette on the obverse and reverse.
The Double Head Cent (178?) bear Washington on obverse and reverse.
The Daniel Boone Half also bears Daniel Boone on obverse and reverse.

Yeah I know, but commems are coins. Some of the civil war notes also bear the same person on both sides.
This way, new collectors can also offer a bit of trivia

OK lets get technical. Here is Richard's statement... quote:
Abraham Lincoln is the only person to appear on two sides of a US coin and banknote.
ND, do any of those people you mentioned appear on both sides of a coin and a banknote.   Edited by Mike

I am ready with my Lincoln type set for 2009. To complete it, I am looking for a MS63/64 RB Indian 09-S.

Slightly off topic bit of trivia about the statue of Lincoln at the Lincoln memorial. Did you know that his hands are in the American Sign Language forms for the letter "A" and "L"? Pretty cool if you ask me...

It is only approipriate that my 500th post contain an admission of error.
In this thread I posted that Lincoln is the only person on both sides of an American coin.
As I was reading a coin book today (about Lincoln cents) it stated that Lincoln is one of two people who are on both sides of an American Coin.
Trivia:
Who is the other person on both sides of an American Coin?
What is the coin?
Can you post a photo?
