Following is a listing of the portraits on current, circulating U.S. coinage and the years the design has been utilized.

One cent- Abraham Lincoln (1909 to present) Five cents- Thomas Jefferson (1938 to present) Ten cents- Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1946 to present) Quarter- George Washington

(1932 to present) Half dollar- Benjamin Franklin (1948 to 196

3) John F. Kennedy (1964 to present) Dollar- Dwight D. Eisenhower (1971 to 197

8) Susan B. Anthony (1979 to 199

9) and Sacagawea (2000 to present)

My 1920 to 1935 era silver dollar has a misspelling. TRUST was spelled TRVST. Why didn't the government notice this mistake?

The "misspelling" that you describe is not a mint error. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, artists in the United States made a practice of using the classical Latin alphabet, substituting "V" for the letter "U" since there is no "U" or "W" in Latin. The style carried over into other areas as well. Many public buildings built during this era also display the same substitution.
