TAILS, YOU LOSE! KITSCHY COIN FLOP

-

A COMMEMORAT­IVE coin designed to honor President Trump’s “peace summit” with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was selling for a discounted rate Thursday. The collectibl­e was originally available for $24.95 plus shipping through the White House gift shop, but a few dollars were knocked off the price shortly after Trump canceled the event the coins were minted to recognize. “The coin will be made whether or not the summit occurs as scheduled because the theme is coming closer to peace and celebrates the act of communicat­ion among countries,” according to a message from the gift shop. The White House Communicat­ions Agency released the commemorat­ive “trip coin” weeks ahead of the achedule June 12 summit. It features Trump and Kim facing each other with the words “Peace Talks” across the top.
