Putting A Trillion Dollars Of Platinum In Perspective

So you want a trillion dollar platinum coin? Ok: here are some facts:

•Platinum has traditionally been the most valuable precious metal for one simple reason: it is rare. •It is so rare, that all the platinum ever mined could fit into a 25 cubic foot box.

I read an article which mentioned congress would need to vote on the image that would be on the coin.

Apparently, it needs to be someone who is deceased so Uboma is not allowed.

The article mentioned that Reagan was a possible candidate.

That pretty much made my blood boil.

I would never want Reagan's likeness tied to one of the stupidest things ever done by the government. Hundreds of years from now they will look back at this coin as a symbol of the end of our civilization.

I haven’t heard that much about Platinum in LENR experiments being valuable. I’ve heard of Palladium. Also whatever the catalyst to go from H2 gas to H1 gas, usually Tungsten. Maybe something fancy & radioactive like Technetium, but I doubt that one.
