Bernie knows so much that isn't true.

The White House is not selling commemorative coronavirus coins

A website called the White House Gift Shop has caused anger by selling coins "commemorating" the Covid-19 outbreak for $100 (£80) each. 

US Senator Bernie Sanders was one of those infuriated by the coins. 

But the White House Gift Shop is a privately run online store with no direct connection to the White House or the Trump administration.

Its own website says it "operates independently of the US government". 

The coins, however, do exist and are being sold by the store. They show a coronavirus germ superimposed over a world map, with slogans such as "Together we fought the unseen enemy" and "Everyday heroes suited up". The site saysprofits will be donated to hospitals.

Set up by President Harry S Truman in 1946, the gift shop was transferred to a private company years ago, which now holds the trademark for "White House Gift Shop". 

The site previously came to media attention in 2018 when it sold coins commemorating Donald Trump's Singapore summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
