Presidential medals are issued by the U.S. Mint on an on-going basis, at least for while these days. In the old days, before the 1980s, it was really open ended. </p><p><br /></p><p>Inaugural medals are issued by the Inaugural Committee in celebration of the ceremony. The mintages were limited to the inuguration period, and some them are quite expensive, into the 5 figures. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a presidential medal for Theodore Roosevelt in silver. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688905[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one of the two official Theodore Roosevelt inaugural medals. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688904[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the other one. And yea, this one is expensive, designed by Augustus St. Gaudens and cast, not struck, by Tiffanys. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688906[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
