In the spirit of this idea:

Put Lincoln on the quarter or even the back side of a dollar coin. Maybe this time make it out of titanium or something similarly like other US coins.

I mean, I don't get why there is one-person-per-coin anyway. They already have one-off runs for special commemorations so it's not like there's fear of confusion (or fear of counterfeit). Keep one side standard and put all kinds of people on them.

Though, one president might decide to out their own image on the coins.

It'll be weird in Canada when we replace the queen on our coinage...
