    Might as well mint 1 million million dollar coins. Put Ronald Reagan's face on them with the flag raising on Iwo Jima on the reverse(you know, the staged one). It'll be a status symbol for petit bourgeois across the country and get weird libertarian gold bugs everywhere hard. You'd be effectively increasing the savings rate of wealthy Americans, allowing the government to take on more debt economically as well as notionally.
