Barack Obama Coin and Medallions
Hercules Backs Barack
No one understood the power of the coin for getting a political message across like the Ancient Greeks. Their coinage was circulated throughout the ancient world to honor everything from victories, events, and patron deities, to nature. Also, it was the perfect way to let it be known "who did what and where".
In keeping with this tradition an American expat from Chicago, who now lives in Greece, prepared a fitting tribute to Barack Obama, immortalizing his nomination for U. S. President in the form of a unique commemorative coin. It is lovingly called the "Baracko" and can be purchased in gold, silver or copper.

I found the Obama coin online at Harriet Carter.
The Baracko coin is really cool. I wear mine all the time. My friends admire it and go "Hey, who's that", and when I say President Obama they go "WOW"!!!
