Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, is on the front of the current U.S. dime coin.

Quick Scoop: Who is on the dime coin?

If you pick up a regular U.S. ten‑cent piece today and look at the “heads” side, that portrait is Franklin D. Roosevelt. He has appeared on the dime since 1946, chosen to honor his leadership during the Great Depression and World War II and his close connection to the March of Dimes, the polio- fighting charity he helped inspire.

In 2026, for the U.S. 250th anniversary, the Mint is temporarily switching the design to an “Emerging Liberty” theme, but the coin is scheduled to return to Roosevelt in 2027.

Think of the dime as a tiny tribute: a small coin carrying the face of a president who helped the country through some of its biggest crises, and whose name is literally tied to “dimes” through the March of Dimes.
