Below is a chart of the number of Treasury secretaries by presidency. Two term presidents are highlighted. Surprisingly, there have only been 13 presidents to serve two full terms. On average each of those presidents has had 2.5 men serve as the head of Treasury (there has never been a woman serve), so there's a decent chance there will be at least one more before Obama's done.
FDR, who served longer than any other president, including for the bulk of the depression, only had two men helm Treasury. Meanwhile two of the four presidents who had four Treasury secretaries weren't even full one term presidents. Tyler and Arthur both took over from men who died in office.
