So, a Krugerrand is a gold coin, 1 oz., and is worth around $1755.

How big would a $1 trillion platinum coin be the democrats are planning to mint?

It doesn’t have to be platinum. It could be made of lead.

It works because of the coinage power, not because of the metal.

It could be any size the treasury wanted. It’s the wording on the coin that declares its value, not its weight or size. Bullion coins issued by countries have a value, always less than the value of the metal. Apparently the law authorizing platinum coins allows any value to be put on the coin. It then becomes real money.

An opposite problem is with the Susan B Anthony dollars. Virtually a billion of the things were made. Nobody wanted them. So they are in storage. The storage costs a lot of money every year. The obvious solution would be to dispose/destroy them, but because they are legal tender, if they’re destroyed then over $880,000,000 disappears and that doesn’t look good. So we taxpayers pay to store $1 coins no one will ever use.
