I am not disagreeing with you. I simply don't understand.

How would the effect on the money supply be any different than congress authorizing them to borrow an extra $2T that currently doesn't exist?

Why a Platinum $1,000,0000,000,000 coin?

Platinum has instrinsic value.

Make it $1,000,000,000,000+ wooden nickels.

Or use Zimbabwee “bucks”. There must still be a lot of high denomination Zimbabwee bucks around.

Worked real swell for them.
Should work just as well for us.

Wasn’t this an episode of “The Simpsons”?
