<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1610009, member: 41665&quot;]I think a 1ozt Pt coin marked &quot;$1 Trillion&quot; would really anger alot of Americans - a total fraud! </p><p>But a real massive coin would not. That WOULD be &#039;worth something&#039; after all ... and scale suits patriotic bullionists (the right-wing.) Heck: put REAGAN&#039;S mug on it, that&#039;ll shut &#039;em up.</p><p><br /></p><p>This proposed coin would currently have intrinsic value @ USD 1,573. ozt of $2,793,648. It would probably cost ~$3 mln per to mint. </p><p>US debt would be ~12 coins, ~$36 mln to produce. That&#039;s not a trifle either: &#039;real money.&#039; </p><p><br /></p><p>You might argue it&#039;s a &#039;gimmick&#039; ...but most of American culture is a gimmick too: SO WAT. Everything is pure Disney for the peanut-gallery of Paper dupes anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin enthusiasts would gladly pay $5. to visit the US Treasury or Fed or wherever, to see &#039;Big Bertha&#039; and then buy keychains, tees and other schwag. SO that $36 mln investment would pay for itself over a few years or so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
