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.
