Would you buy your way onto a coin?

Hypothetically...
Suppose the mint wanted to raise some serious money. They could - for a large fee - sell people the honor of having their image on a coin.
Let's say that the privilege costs $10M, and 10 people per year would get to do it. I'm sure that they'd find people who are well off enough that would want to donate to the cause in order to see themselves on a coin.
What do you think? If you were filthy rich, would you go for it? Would all of these different coins be good for the hobby (kind of like state quarters)?

all of America wont hate them, and they could leave their house.
Bill Clinton should be on a coin smoking a cigar on the obverse. "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS" should be the motto on the reverse and a picture of the Oval Office.
