A website that is unaffiliated with the White House is selling commemorative coronavirus coins that received backlash online after the products were wrongly attributed to the official White House.

The commemorative COVID-19 coins are being sold by WhiteHouseGiftShop.com for $125, with a “deal of the day” knocking the price down to $100 on Wednesday. But despite the online store’s name, it is not affiliated with the White House.

Although it was established by the Secret Service and run by the federal agency as recently as a decade ago, The White House Gift Shop has been privately owned since 2013, Talking Points Memo reported in 2018.
