President Joe Biden and his administration will not mint a proposed $1 trillion coin to resolve the U.S. debt ceiling crisis as it’s not a “viable” option, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed to reporters on Oct. 4.
“We obviously look at a range of options, and none of those options were viable, either because they wouldn’t be accepted by the Federal Reserve, by the guidance of our Treasury Secretary, or just by legal restrictions,” she said.
