Obama Coins Have Been Issued

As if the Vero Possumus Pre-presidential Seal weren't presumptuous and preposterous enough, the Obamessiah's acolytes have struck a Barack Obama coin. Fittingly, the coins are produced in a foreign country (http://www.birminghampost.net/birmingham-business/birmingham-business-news/business-entrepreneurship/2008/09/16/birmingham-firm-strikes-barack-obama-presidential-coin-65233-21832869):

Quote
A company in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter is making commemorative coins for American presidential hopeful Barack Obama. […] Windsor, Elizabeth & Windsor has already sold more than 300 limited edition commemorative silver coins to the Democratic Party to hand out to key members of the campaign to elect Obama. […] WEW is producing limited edition runs of gold, silver and platinum Obama coins, and plans to produce new ones in other finishes for public consumption if the demand emerges. […]

The company directors got the idea of producing the coins after seeing actress Meryl Streep talking about Barack Obama on a television programme. When they got in touch with the Democrats the party jumped at the chance. And the coins have proved such a hit that locally produced versions have already been launched to compete with the UK originals.

The coins show Senator Obama's face, along with a picture of the White House and the legend "President of the United States of America".

are there faces on both sides of the coin, so that it will resemble the real thing as closely as possible?

But it will flip to whatever side you want it to be on.
