LMAO - "Treasury should create (2) one-trillion denomination 'platinum' coins"

A little-known statute gives the secretary of the Treasury the authority to issue platinum coins in any denomination. So some commentators have suggested that the Treasury create two $1 trillion coins, deposit them in its account in the Federal Reserve and write checks on the proceeds.

The entire article is a complete joke. It's amazing that these are actually serious suggestions.

Gosh, I feel smart right now.
