This is Cache 1/6 in the Coin Cache series.
In this series of six caches, along the canal trail in Pleasant View, one or two coins are hidden in each cache. If a coin is found to bear a picture of a president, or if the president served during the year the coin was minted, then he is out! The goal is to eliminate all of the presidents except one. The last remaining president will be used to unlock a code which can be found in Cache 5. The code is used to find the real coordinates for Cache 6.

Things to note/remember:
*Use only the most recent 20 presidents, (not counting presidents elected after 2016).
*During some years, more than one president served.
*Some coins could have more than one president on them, an irrelevant president, or no president at all.
*At each cache you are able to eliminate at least two presidents.
*The locations of Caches 1-5 are as listed. You must visit the first five caches to find the correct president, and then decode the puzzle to find the location of Cache 6.
In each cache there is a coin with an ANIMAL on it. Keep track of the total number of FEET from all five animals. You’ll need it to solve the code found in Cache 5.
Cache 6 contains a bunch of cool coins, so bring one of your own to trade with after you’ve solve the puzzle!
