Penny and Five Dollar bill have Lincoln. Penny on both sides.

Quarter and One Dollar bill have George Washington. Both on one side.

Jefferson is on both sides of the Two Dollar bill and one side of the Nickel.

One Hundred Dollar bill has Ben Franklin as do older Silver Dollar Coins.

How's that?
