What the guy who helped write the trillion-dollar platinum coin law told me

it's legal via Ace of Spades.

There's a congressman who wants to ban the practice.   How do you think that will go over in Democrat circles?
U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) today announced plans to introduce a bill to stop a proposal to mint high-value platinum coins to pay the federal government’s bills.

“Some people are in denial about the need to reduce spending and balance the budget. This scheme to mint trillion dollar platinum coins is absurd and dangerous, and would be laughable if the proponents weren’t so serious about it as a solution. I’m introducing a bill to stop it in its tracks,” Rep. Walden said.

Krugman likes it.  Barry will like it too.
