<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1606753, member: 28550&quot;]Hasn&#039;t every issue of Platinum coinage been authorized by Congress in the past? If Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling, I don&#039;t see them going for this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, issuing a limited run of $5,000 coins with face values far above melt value (say, 1 oz of Platinum) would surely be a lucrative way for the mint to earn some seignorage. I just don&#039;t know how many collectors would be willing to pay that far above melt (although it seems to be working out fine for Australia and China in the silver market).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
