White House Won't Rule Out Trillion Dollar Platinum Coin

Yeah...

The White House on Wednesday didn't outright deny the possibility of minting a $1 trillion coin, an idea that's been floated as a way for the Obama administration to pay its debts if Congress were to fail to raise the debt ceiling in the coming weeks.

Absurd an option as this may be, it's apparently on the table.  So we've gone ahead and launched a futures contract on it in our demo market.

You can trade it here.
