That is because she never had anything whatsoever to do with the
portrait of Franklin D Roosevelt on the US dime.
Like most black inventors, scientists, artists, etc, her achievements
are largely fictional, fraudulent, or plaigarized.
The portrait on the US dime is by John R. Sinnock, and resembles his
previous works on Roosevelt, predating her works, so she copied from
him, badly. He did not copy from her.
