The nickel's design since 1938 has featured a profile of President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse. From 1938 to 2003, Monticello was featured on the reverse. For 2004 and 2005, nickels are featuring new designs to commemorate the bicentennials of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition. These new designs are called the Westward Journey nickel series.
