Министр финансов США Джанет Йеллен сказала, что Федеральная резервная система, вероятно, не примет платиновую монету в размере 1 триллиона долларов, если администрация Байдена всерьез пытается таким образом избежать федерального дефолта.
Некоторые чиновники администрации Байдена и демократы обсудили возможность того, что казначейство может использовать закон, разрешающий платиновые монеты в случае потенциального дефолта. Йеллен сказала, что центральный банк не обязан выполнять такой план.

These prized 90-year-old European coins will add great interest to your collection today!

After reaching the headlines during the week of January 7, 2013, use of the trillion-dollar coin concept was ultimately rejected by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury.[1]
