Okay so Lincoln faces right, why do all the others face left? I believe it has something to do with the civil war...

One of them does not; Abe Lincoln. The right side of his face is shown on the penny. The left side of Washington, Jefferson and Roosevelt's faces are shown on the others.
But why? Why?!?

They don't. Is this a trick question? Just to name two current coins: on the penny, Lincoln faces to the right, with the right side of his face showing; on the quarter, Washington faces to the left.

Its a code of the Illuminati who secretly rule the US along witht the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations. The heads, if lined up properly, point to a secret phrase in The US Constitution, which refers to a secret vault bearing the engraving plates for Confederate currency. I don't have time to explain what it all means, and I've told too much anyway.

All heads everywhere (except for the mythological "Janus") face one way. You've never seen a head face two or more ways, have you.
I wonder if you meant to ask why the heads all face the same direction, or something like that?

The new nickles have jefferson facing right as well..I believe because most were taken from portraits...not any big reason other than that.
The only site i could find concerning this is listed below.

supposedly what i was told is that the reason the heads all face one way but the penny is because the other pres turned their backs on abe for his deeds as far as emacipation and endin slave trade and such
