Oh, well, they’ll be worth quite a bit when they become the only ones minted.
Maybe that’s the plan. The One will stash these away in his vault and twelve years from now when President Palin is leaving after her second term, he can auction some off to pay for his girls’ college. Or twenty years from now, when President Jindal is leaving after his second term, he can auction them off for their weddings.

Obama didn't commission the coins. The company decided to make them itself, and is turning a tidy profit. Capitalism at work.
You might be correct in assigning the decision to mint these to the company in Birmingham, however it could not be done without the go ahead from the Democrats and Obama:
"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."
Takes a lot of hubris to give the go ahead.
