Secret service personnel reportedly sharing special challenge coins jabbing shutdown
Secret Service members are reportedly exchanging challenge coins that take a jab at the ongoing partial government shutdown.
CNNs Jake Tapper posted an image of the coins to Twitter on Wednesday, saying that they are being distributed among personnel and their families.
The image shared by Tapper shows one side of the coin that features an image of the star-shaped Secret Service emblem with a red no symbol reading Shut Happens. Text running around the coin's border reads "United States Secret Service" and "Essential Personnel."
According to the image, the coin's other side features an image of the Capitol building overlaid with a graphic of an illuminated neon sign reading CLOSED. The text on the border of that side reads: Dont worry, youll get backpay.
