    Like they can just mint a coin if they want to so badly. Not sure why they keep acting like they need a reason. There must be some platinum lobbyist trying to get something more valuable than gold made out of platinum so they can brag to clients about how much better it is. "Is that a gold dollar coin? Cute. My firm had a trillion dollar platinum coin made. Take that gold."

      Nah, it's due to a legal loophole. Platinum coinage is the only one the executive has complete control over, with the idea that it's supposed to just be for commemorative garbage.
