Lincoln - the penny, the five dollar bill, and the back of the Illinois state quarter. Next year, Jefferson will be on the nickel, the two dollar bill, and the back of the South Dakota state quarter in Mount Rushmore.

Of course, Lincoln appears twice on the penny -- there's a tiny little Lincoln in the Lincoln memorial on the back.

(The phrase "circulating" can lead to other, less correct answers, as well -- there are extremely old coins circulating, at least in theory.)

Does that mean that Lincoln will be on four different kinds of currency next year? And Washington on three? Or will the SD quarter only show Jefferson?
