It represents the reasons for his choosing to run for POTUS...fame and money. I guess he can always cover up Kim's profile on the coin or have a member of his staff scratch it off.

President Obama did not deserve the Nobel Prize, too. Few of the ones who did so are still here and posting. It was the beginning of a trend that continued throughout his presidency. Some simply could not stand it that he'd been elected.

I consider that attitude to be one of the great shames of some people on DU. Some never actually supported him from the day of his inauguration onward. Remember?

IOW, he hadn't come into the presidency (which he undeniably did deserve for all his great feats of statesmanship).

"The Nobel Peace Prize 2002 was awarded to Jimmy Carter "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development".

He is still making a difference to this day. By contrast the only (R) of
modern times is Kissinger. And the president he served under, Nixon,
called him Jew Boy to his face. That's how much he was appreciated.
