People depicted on U.S. coins

Sure, there are a lot of dead presidents depicted on U.S. coins! Which of them, and who else can be seen on federal coinage?

ONLY coin types minted more than 1 million times

People depicted solely on the painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware" (New Jersey quarter) are already given

Armstrong and Herrington's spacesuits are easily recognisable but their identity let purposefully vague (as they were still alive during mintage)
