The Trump family is promoting a line of coins commemorating a UFC fight to be held at the White House. The coins, which are being sold in advance of the fight, feature President Donald Trump’s face and are being marketed as a collaboration between the UFC and the Trump Organization.
Details of the Coins
There are four coins for sale, ranging from a silver one that costs nearly $250 to a $11,999.99 gold medallion. The Trump Organization appears to be licensing the president’s brand for the coins and is not manufacturing or selling them.
The collaboration marks the Trump family’s latest involvement in efforts to cash in on his return to the White House. The Trump family has licensed the president’s name to promote various business ventures, drawing scrutiny for the profits they have reaped through their close association with the commander in chief.
Response to Criticism
In response to questions about Trump’s involvement in the coin’s design and marketing, White House spokesman Davis Ingle rejected any suggestion of a conflict of interest. The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
