It seems to me that the clear intent of the US Constitution is that the US Congress, particularly the House, initiates entirely new monetary resources.
No matter how you cut it, a trillion dollar coin is new resources.
Also, any effort to assign the value of a trillion dollars to a coin is fraud. The market price of platinum is available for all to see, the historic price is available, and the futures price is available.
For anyone to claim they have a trillion dollars worth of platinum would require that they have more than a single coin or that the single coin be the size of a mountain.
Otherwise, they are perpetrating fraud.
Otherwise, they are perpetrating fraud.
The fraud began decades ago when they started pretending that a piece of paper with the word DOLLAR printed on it was the same thing as an actual dollar. This idea is just one more scrap on the whole fraudulent midden heap.
