He would have to be deceased, and with a supportive Democratic president and Democratic Congress. So thank God we won’t have the Obama penny anytime soon.

Reminds me of an old SNL skit about a certain South African coin.

People who remember when it was funny will know EXACTLY what I am talking about.

" Agreed. Stars too big for this denomination But probably will show up nicely on the 1/4 and 1/10 ounce coins."

Those coins will feature her fatherless kids. They will be libertine coins.
