Will you paraphrase " certainly not so few of them" ?
You can't have people looking in their wallets and saying, "Hey, these pictures of dead presidents are just heavy-duty paper. I'm not accepting these crummy things for work anymore--and certainly not so few of them."

Hi -
The context is that the speaker is now unwilling to work for so little money, and the exchange of work for money seems to have lost its appeal. (The "dead presidents" refer to money.) Air of sarcasim in the cutting if you ask me.
Hope that helps - Kristi
