Update to 9/27 post

Ok, so the trillion dollar coin idea...AWESOME! Being a movie buff, I find the movie inspirations particularly great. But seriously, why wouldn't this work? It is a solution that injects mega money into circulation for the purpose of helping the government's debt issues that does not involve printing more paper money, which seems to be a big turnoff for a lot of people. And, as Emily said on her blog, 2 of these trillion dollar coins would also be much easier to guard than a large quantity of coins of smaller denominations, which is another option for accomplishing the same purpose. It sounds like a winner to me.
