Wait, wasn't this an episode of The Simpsons where Burns had a trillion-dollar bill and unwittingly handed it over to Fidel Castro?

Coming back to this in May 2023 to relive the joy that is The Coin(tm).

I am now officially a coin head - by that, I mean the trillion dollar coin should be a 1:1 scale solid platinum cast of someone's head

Let's be clear, the coin is very, very silly.
The thing is, silly problems need silly solutions.

The coin should be a platinum coke can but labelled "do not touch, lick, or recycle - refined uranium" in order to maintain its value

They should commemorate the department that's responsible for most of the budget expenditures by making the coin a pentagonal.

I want the coin to have a hole in the middle with a transparent film, and if you view other currency through it you can see secret messages. And then Nic Cage has to steal it to find Ben Franklin's steam powered mech to stop the spirit of Mark Twain who is trying to collide Halley's Comet with the Earth.

I feel like we don't have enough square coins, so I would go for that or possibly make it have a hole in the middle like one of those Japanese coins.
The bonus for the latter is that it could also be used to repair a drippy tap.
casanovafunkenstein
Severely disappointed in the lack of "that giant penny in the Batcave" discussion when proposing the form of the "coin"
JaredLeggett
I think the coin should be shaped like one of those cheap plasticky Eiffel tower souvenirs, just made out of platinum (but with all of the terrible features a cheap, worn out plastic mold gives you)
ZealothPL
Alternatively, the coin should be made in partnership with Supreme and be shaped like THAT brick

These people disdaining the coin remind me of the norse colony in Greenland who chose death by starvation rather than eat fish. Their religion/culture said fish were wrong to eat.
jsrodman
No even better: instead of a vending machine it's a massive one of those charity donation funnel things
lrminer
The coin but it's a U-505 souvenir penny from Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry
Manquilla
It breaks my heart that you are in Berlin the one weekend I am out of town.

The coin should be size and heft of a 45 lb weight plate. One side; a relief of Biden eating an ice cream cone and wearing aviator sunglasses. The other; traditional bald eagle and around the edge a retelling of the Corn Pop story in Latin
capsjukebox
Milo's James Acaster was too good 👻
RedSaint
The coin ought to be a WWE style belt, wherein once a president is sworn in the belt is donned until their term ends... or death
TAPL
Be pettier. The coin should have an image of an anthropomorphic donkey holding a baseball bat on one side, and an elephant piñata on the other.

19:40 TRUE. Skill issue. Common American legislation L.
