The tail side (the technical term is "reverse") of the current US penny is the "Union Shield", a shield that has vertical stripes and "E Pluribus Unum" written across the top of it, partially obscured by scrollwork saying "One Cent".
Up until 2009, the most recent design of th e US penny had the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse (this is the same building depicted on the back of the five dollar bill). In 2009, four "commemorative" designs were issued for the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth. Prior to the Lincoln Memorial reverse, the penny featured two stalks of wheat.
The nickel's reverse is a depiction of Monticello, Jefferson's home. In 2004 and 2005 five commemorative reverses (for the approximate bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition) were issued.

Is a nickel with a head on both sides of the coin worth anything but a nickel?
You may be able to sell it on eBay for under $5 (since these are readily available as novelty items for around $6). Because of the way the US Mint manufactures coins, it's almost impossible to have a real two-headed or two-tailed coin of any denomination. There are situations where you may see a mirror image on one side of a coin, eg a standard obverse or "heads" side on one side and a reversed incuse image on the opposite side, but it will not look like a two-headed coin. Certain coin designs may also have on the "tails" side a different person's head. I don't recall that ever happening with the US nickel, though I could be wrong. The other side will appear completely different, though, from the "heads" side.
