Israel group mints Trump coin to honour Jerusalem recognition
(28 Feb 2018) An Israeli organization has minted a coin bearing US President Donald Trump's image to honour his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The Mikdash Educational Centre said on Wednesday that the "Temple Coin" features Trump alongside King Cyrus, who 2,500 years ago allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem from their exile in Babylon.
Rabbi Mordechai Persoff from the centre told AP that they wanted to say thank you to Trump for declaring Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
"We want to say thank you, we want to show our gratitude to that big declaration and that's why we put president Donald Trump next to King Cyrus on our special coin" he added.
The centre has minted 1,000 biblical half-shekel coins that can be purchased with a minimum donation of 50 US dollars.
The coin can't be used as currency.
Mikdash bills itself as a non-profit educational and religious organisation.
