Another day, another piece of gold Trump merchandise for sale.

In the clip above Jimmy Kimmel talks about Donald Trump’s commemorative gold coin, being sold for “the low, low price of only $11,999” to mark the upcoming UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.

“You can see though it’s a beautiful coin — Julius UFCaesar is pictured,” says Kimmel. “This is one ounce of pure PF70-rated gold. Just for comparison, an ounce of PF70-rated gold in coin form without his head on it goes for about $4,500, so this is a deal.”

Jimmy Kimmel then goes through the site’s fine print, pointing out that the coin is not intended for “investment purposes”, is not “legal tender”, and has “no face value”.

“You really have to hand it to Trump, it takes a special kind of con man to sell your supporters money they cannot spend any place,” says Kimmel.
