Pay the $1,000 for the first payment and invest the $1,000,000,000,000 If you can get 1 annual return your making $833 Million a month

Will this effect the spot price of PT in a negative or positive way?

Comment from : @TJonLongIsland

How unusual that the split payment option is actually cheaper! $20 saved? What a steal! But it now!
Comment from : @ayelemensah8816

To be closer to an actual Franklin Mint ad the price should have been $1,000,000,000,01995

Comment from : @AceSpadeThePikachu

Can someone with an academic background in economics please explain how this works? Why does a physical coin have to exist? How does a trillion dollar coin prevent a recession? This is so fascinating but I'm too dumb to understand it Thanks

Its probably cheaper and easier to issue 200 and 500 dollar aluminium coins like Weimar Germany didjust saying!
Comment from : @abc-ye2ec

As someone who understands basic economics let me tell you: printing/minting more money doesn't help you, it just devalues your currency Grab the Republicans by the fake hair and drag them into an agreement Out of control debt is still better than a worthless currency
Comment from : @RoughThief

Do you want hyperinflation because this is how you get hyperinflation brbrI know people always joke about printing machines go brrr and that the government just prints money but it is not as simple as that all the new money printed normally is balanced with debts owed back, while this is actually just printing money Unless they are genuinely talking about a 3000 ton pure platinum coin this is not going to be bullion

Comment from : @starcloudhidden8074

The funny thing is that very well regarded economists have suggested minting a $1 trillion coin for a years It’s apparently not as crazy as it seems

Comment from : @sailinbob11

If I owed you a million dollar and Instead of giving you actual million dollar or million dollar worth of land or other materials I fooled you and created a coin which costed me about a thousand dollar at most Would you take that coin from me and be happy about it?
Comment from : @crazyhq270

The trillion dollar coin is one the dumbest ideas I have heard How would this affect our economy? How can 1 coin actually be worth a trillion dollar? What backs up it's worth?
Comment from : @thexreaper6930

Comment from : @goldsung5710

Nice try, but we all know that it's not a trillion dollar coin without Montgomery Burns' portrait on it Caption: "Excellent! I'm taking this one to Cuba!"

Comment from : @crocglox7797

The coin makes it so clear that money is completely made up If any other country tried something like this they would sink into hyperinflation like Weimar Germany or Zimbabwe

soooooo, what happens if someone steals that coin?
Comment from : @okletmesignup

I see a blast of a crime movie coming up, about stealing a certain coin
Comment from : @KootFloris

A trillion is an unbelievably large number, I mean, it's a thousand billions, and if you tried to count all the way up to one billion, counting one number every second, it would take you more than 32 years brbr(A person celebrates, knowingly or not, their billionth second of life within their 32nd year) brbrSo, it's pretty easy to extrapolate that out, if it takes more than 32 years to count to one billion, one second at a time, that means it would take some amount more than 32 thousand years to count to one trillion brbr(Don't try this at home, people 😇✌)
