Ain't gonna happen folks http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...a-platinum-coin-to-sidestep-the-debt-ceiling/
It was never actually taken seriously. Not only is it clearly unconstitutional it would cause hyperinflation.
Not to mention it would only put a band aid on a severed artery. Even if enough coins were sold to pay off our debts and clear some ceiling room it would teach washington that they could spend trillions more and a miracle pill would make it all go away.
Not sure what's more absurd - that it was considered or that it had to be evaluated then disapproved....
