Not being from the US I have no idea who either of those two are, but that does raise an interesting point: Maybe the reason no-one wants the coin is because of who's on it. Solution: Mint a coin with La Cicciolina (or whoever the US equivalent would be) on it. They'd be able to get rid of at least 140M of them. Peter.
