(16,616 posts)I wonder what the price will be.
Ordered one just as a fluke...
As I'm living in the UK, I have to have it shipped to a friend.
What the hell, buying it is less of a gamble than a lotto ticket.

(3,131 posts)And trump resigns before the inauguration so that Biden is the 47th president do you still get a coin that says Biden and 46th? That would be cool to have.
Im tempted anyway but I really dont like collectibles.

(3,498 posts)It says that they ship on January 1st. That's still plenty of time for Trump to go for the resign / Pence pardon maneuver....

I'd never really thought about it before, but it would actually make perfect sense for it to be run by the Secret Service. Visitors have to go through the gift shop to leave, making it very easy to monitor potential threats and account for missing people.

(1,832 posts)... no longer affiliated with the U.S. government. "White House Gift Shop" and "White House Gift Shop, Est. 1946" are trademarks registered to Giannini Strategic Enterprises, a limited liability company based in Lititz, Pa.,
While the operation isnt connected to the White House now, it once was and dates back to the Truman administration. The now-defunct Secret Service Uniformed Division Benefit Fund ran the gift shop before running into financial trouble.
The ownership of the gift shop was officially transferred to in 2012. The gift shop no longer has a physical space and operates solely online.
