| Description: | The commemorative coins honoring Volodymyr Zelenskyy were created for sale by a private company called the White House Gift Shop, not the U.S. government. Social media users are falsely claiming that the Biden White House created special coins honoring Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Despite what the posts suggest, the commemorative coins were created by a private company, not President Joe Biden’s White House. The nonprofit White House Historical Association ‘ which runs two retail shops located near the White House in Washington, including one at the White House Visitor Center ‘ confirmed to PolitiFact that its stores are not selling the commemorative Zelenskyy coins.
