Background:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillion-dollar_coin

Given the troubles Johnson went through to become speaker, many believe there will be upcoming fights over the budget, debt ceiling, and government shutdowns. President Trump can get around this by "minting the coin" (see above link - TL;DR, he has the authority to tell the mint to strike a platinum coin of arbitrary value to overcome limits).

Will President Trump ever mint the coin (or coins) during his administration? This resolves YES if/when two conditions are both fulfilled:

  1. Such a platinum coin(s) is/are minted

  2. Trump is president at the time (or was at the time the order to mint the coin was given)

  3. In case Trump term extends further than January 19th 2029, this market also extends.

  • Update 2025-02-28 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Any coin denomination qualifies for resolution:

    • Coins minted with any amount (e.g. $1B, $1M, etc.) count towards fulfilling the minted coin condition.

They started talking about this in 2011, three presidents ago. So base rate is below 25%. Trump was already president and didn’t do it.

bought Ṁ50 NO

Would a $1B coin count? A $1M?

@MagnusAnderson any amount would count
