Can Biden issue a trillion-dollar platinum coin to instantly lift the debt ceiling?

It’s serialized. So the mint discontinues that serial number coin and mints a new one with a different SN. The old one is worthless as fiat currency and is only worth the intrinsic value of the metal or whatever amount a collector will pay for it. With the added spice that anyone selling that coin or exact amount of platinum is likely to be reported to the Don’t-Fuck-Around Secret Service.
