Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called on the White House Tuesday to remove North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's image from a commemorative coin released Tuesday that is meant to mark Trump's upcoming summit with Kim in Singapore.
"I urge the White House to take Kim off the coin," Schumer said. "Challenge coins are a time honored tradition and certainly appropriate in this situation, but Kim Jong Uns face has no place on this coin."
I urge the White House to take Kim off the coin. Challenge coins are a time honored tradition and certainly appropriate in this situation, but Kim Jong Uns face has no place on this coin. He is a brutal dictator and something like the Peace House would be much more appropriate. https://t.co/ZHUKVqW7yN Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) May 22, 2018
"He is a brutal dictator and something like the Peace House would be much more appropriate," Schumer said. The Peace House is a building located in the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea.
Schumer didn't specify exactly how to take Kim "off the coin," but his comment indicates support for minting new ones that don't include Kim.

there ya go.
i am pretty much for scrapping the entire concept. things need to get done, not have coins made about tgem. just do it and get stuf done and screw the stupid coins.
You misunderstand me. Boot both faces and the entire coin into the dumpster. Accomplish something first, commemorate after.
Shut the Chuck up.
There you go...

Ill defer to the parents of Otto Warmbier (R.I.P.) on this one.
Great one!
Schumer is jealous. They were designing a coin with him on it but his ego was too huge to fit on it.
How did he feel about Noriega, Castro, and Chavez? Knowing him he would cherish any portrait of himself with any of these dictators.
