America has always prided itself as a land of opportunity, where anyone can succeed with hard work and determination. Americans often point to the fact that even a poor person who lived in a roughly made log cabin could become a success. Several men who became president, such as Andrew Jackson, Millard Fillmore, Abraham Lincoln, and James Garfield, started life in log cabins. This log cabin bank can hold coins with pictures of presidents on them. Can you name the presidents on the coins?
