"Now You Can Own a Piece of American History!"

Some bright entrepreneur is offering Barack Obama coins. I guess people are into all kinds of collectibles, but good grief...

...But I do have a question regarding fundamental fairness:

Why did the feds raid Sunshine Mint and steal all their Liberty Dollars? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column explores perceived vs actual value.

Tell a friend?

Any WarOnGuns regular who wants to help this effort out by posting links to these Examiner columns on forums you frequent, please take the initiative.

If history serves you well the coins that were taking were the Ron Paul silver coins.

I took a look at the New England Mint's site - At least one of the pics of the actual Obamamama coins clearly shows the words "united States half dollar". Looks like counterfeiting to me.

They'll go well with my Barack Obama commemorative dildo and my Barack Obama crapping doll

Hey, maybe Scaramouche is on to something. Since it appears that lots of people have not just asked but begged for what is coming, has anyone started marketing boutique ankle grips yet?

Just picture the advertising:

Specially designed to keep the forearms straight, not rotated, for lessened back strain and all-day comfort.

Order now and we'll include all three available, er, mounting options: standard velcro "the minimalist" bracelets with cotton gloves, "de-luxe" bracelets with chrome buckles and matching studded leather gloves, and the limited commemorative "patriot" model, including TSA-approved, integrated jackboots with polished brass locks and purple velvet gloves!

All models come with a stain-proof, white-wash floor mat featuring the inspiring, finger-wagging visage of your favorite tyrant, now including the One, the Only, the Only One of Only Ones, the "historic" Lightworker hisself! Just try to stain it; it won't stick--cleanup has never been easier!

The customer testimonials:

"Yah, man, I got the special-order model made out of melted-down automatic assault revolver frames; ironically, they were just so much more comfortable to hang on to during, heh, heavy recoil...I feel very sure my hope saved a life today."

"Hell for stout, man. These babies can take all the punishment you can. THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?"

"Thank God for the product safeguards. At one point, I actually felt like I should take the grips off and use them to ([aside] can i say that?) [whispers] resist the servicing crew. It was probably when they ran through my supply of lube in half the time the tube said it would take, and I started to get uncomfortable. But then, thankfully, the automatic safety locks kicked in, the built-in speakers started playing the national anthem, and I just couldn't help but notice the soothing effect of my Genuine Lightworker spatter mat. Thankfully, the feeling passed, and we got back to a proper afternoon cud-and-pud in no time. A little soreness is such a small price to pay for my own safety; I mean, I could have really hurt myself there!"

Don't you think that there has got to be some money in this?

But I should stop now, lest I get, you know, sarcastic, and start speaking in, you know, metaphors.

Perhaps a better source of the coins would be the manufacturer of Chuck E. Cheese tokens?

They're pot metal with a shiny veneer. Just like Obama.

Some NYC souvenir shops sell BH0
"dollars" also. They are patently
not intended as any medium of
exchange though. One guess as to
the "dollar" amount on the "bill."

$3?
