'White House' selling $100 commemorative COVID-19 coins'

‘An Ivanka idea’: Internet slams ‘White House’ for selling $100 commemorative COVID-19 coins'

“On Wednesday, The Daily Beast reported that the White House is now selling $100 commemorative COVID-19 coins, emblazoned with phrases such as “World vs The Unseen Enemy” and “Everyday HEROES Suited Up.”

The proceeds will reportedly be donated to hospitals. Nonetheless, the sales pitch did not impress commenters on social media, who slammed the White House for its crassness.”
