I was curious, so I looked to see if there was any relation between the website and the White House, as the site seems to claim. As it turns out, no
The White House Gift Shop is a private, for-profit company based in Lancaster Country, Pennsylvania. It has no connection to the White House, the Secret Service or any part of the US government.

Interesting. Thanks for heads up Robert. Thought the "visionary innovator" was a bit much for a government coin.

I find it strange that a non-governmental source can slap the official U.S. Presidential Seal on a non-government produced product.
