Generally coin and bill values are determined by Congress, but in the law allowing bullion platinum coins Congress didn’t specify the denominations and number allowed like they with gold and silver. I thought that Congress was going to fix this error last time this inflationary BS came up.

If this action is taken, the COIN gets around any constitutional impairment.
The Constitution states:
The Congress shall have Power ….. To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures
Article I. Legislative Branch Section VIII, Clause 5
It’s pretty clear the FedGov could value (denominate) a new coin at $1 trillion. But convincing the reason the world the US dollar isn’t anything but Monopoly money after that would be a tough sell.
