Can't wait to find out what Danny says when he sees the new 2006 Jefferson nickel....Jefferson will be facing forward and if I'm not mistaken, this will be the first time in history that a president has ever been depicted facing forward.
But to answer your question about the profile, all I have found was "since Abraham Lincoln became the first president to be depicted on a circulating coin, in 1909, presidents have always been shown in profile, in part because profile designs remain recognizable even after extensive wear on the coin." coincollector.org
