Please take another look. Dwight Eisenhower was very much alive in 1949 so his picture couldn't be on a circulating coin, and in any case the former 5-star general would have been court-martialed for hair like that!
General and President Eisenhower appeared on the $1 coin from 1971 to 1978. Your coin has a picture of Founding Father Benjamin Franklin. Please see the Related Question for more information.
