The Trump administration created a special challenge coin featuring President Trumps Mar-a-Lago estate, The New York Times reported Sunday.
The White House Communications Agency, a military unit that designs and creates the coins, created the Mar-a-Lago coin in recent months.
The group has also designed coins featuring Pope Francis and Trump, and killed plans for a coin featuring Trump Tower in Manhattan and the presidents golf course in Bedminster, N.J. after the Times asked about the coins.
The agency the same group that created a highly publicized coin for Trumps summit with Kim Jong Un also created a Make America Great Again coin that was funded by the Republican National Committee, according to the Times.
Challenge coins are often created to mark presidential trips or events.
Ethics watchdogs told the Times that coins depicting Trumps properties shouldnt be created with government resources, as it could violate federal laws banning the use of public resources to promote private institutions.

Is this the unit people who are hated in the military are posted to as a punishment? "Ha ha, you spend your day drawing "Trump is dreamy" logos. Loser."

The military is helping out, why is the military doing work they know is illegal? This is serious people...regular people cannot fight the military, take a look at what happened in South America...We are in danger zone.
