My only comment is I’m surprised by how many products are on there called coins that look to be medals with enamel coloring. And no description of what the metal is in the medal.

They're called "challenge coins." They were originally given out by military commanders to those who did good service as a method of thanking them. They've become popular now in the civilian world.

It figures they misspelled the Secretary of the Treasury name wrong in the tease

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
GACK!
That was nice of them.
The White House gift shop is not part of the federal government. They are a private company. And this is a medal; I don’t know why they advertise it as a coin.

I was thinking the same thing

I don't think the general public knows the difference between a coin and a medal. They made some "coins" for an event at work, and since the guy who emailed out about it is a friend, I made sure to give him a hard time about incorrectly calling a medal a coin.
I was thinking, though, whether there could be legal implications if this were being sold by a government agency. I realize this is a private shop so it's different, but what if a government entity sold a medal of some kind using the word "coin" instead of medal? Are they breaking any rules/laws since the government is the only producer of real coins, so they are more actively lying/falsely advertising?
I will not be rushing to buy this one.... and I like the @dcarr piece more...Cheers, RickO
$100?![:o :o](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/open_mouth.png)
And I wonder where they are made...![:D :D](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/lol.png)

No thank you.
Nope.
When your parents die and you clean out their house you find stuff like this in an old ash tray behind pictures of all the grandkids with candy corns, AAA batteries and little screws stuck to it

Kuwan providence. Got a discount
Why wonder, it says they are made in the USA. All, that's 100%, of the sales will go to fight COVID-19. I'll not be on the waiting list but I think that the $100,000 will be welcomed by those entities that get it.

Good for them, on both counts. I stopped reading at $100 "deal of the day".![:# :#](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/grimace.png)
Still, I'd rather donate my own funds and get a reasonably priced medal (if I wanted one). And I can guarantee that the "Made in China" version will be on Alibaba before long.

Bizarre timing, and more bizarre thing to even want to "commemorate." I think the WH Gift Shop would be better suited by getting a jump start on the Mint before they commemorate the Football Hall of Fame.

Read above. "Challenge coins"
Not for nothing, but they are giving $100,000 to John Hopkins and CDC and they are selling 1000 medals for $100 each. Who underwrites the cost of the medal production?
All $100 are going to the charity, so you're kind of getting the medal for free...assuming you wanted to donate $100, that is.
I see that now... Thanks for the clarification. It's not readily apparent from their "about" page...

To expensive not worth the time cause you won’t be able to FLIP IT! However I made a killing on FLIPPING the Kim Jon UN / Trump medal some years back from the White House Gift Shop😜
It’s important to know your suckers, I mean audience

So is it a medal or a medallion?

No. Won't need a medal to remember this virus.
