Consumers, Pols Rail at So-Called 9/11 Coin

(By Kathleen Foster, FoxNews.com) - A coin commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks is drawing the ire of consumers and politicians who have learned that the coin may be just a worthless trinket that has no affiliation with the U.S. government and does not benefit the 9/11 Memorial.

Katie Smith and John Shughart of Carlisle, Pa., thought they were buying a priceless piece of history. Now, the coin they bought may have not even a cent of value.

"I think it's a complete rip-off," says Smith. "It's a scam."
