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.
