The pardon wipes their criminal record of the pardoned offense. Likely, these were people that wrote to him with sob stories about how they can not find work due to past indiscretion. At least he didn't pardon anyone that has truly screwed the American people.

No that is what stimulus plans and corporate bail outs are for. You don't have to pardon those that are screwing you if you pay them. In at least one state that makes it a legitimate business.
Foster, now 66, said he wasn't aware that he even had a felony conviction on his record until he applied for a gun permit in Pennsylvania five years ago and was denied.
He was told about the pardon earlier Friday by his lawyer, who applied for it on his behalf about 18 months ago.

I was really curious about the coin mutilator so I used the power of the interwebs to find this:

many people have total confidence that he will be a perfect president but at last he disappointed us with his boring behaviours
