Great... when China comes calling for what we owe them, we can start by dumping a billion dollars worth of presidential coins at their doorstep.

That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. I wonder if they would accept them -- I mean, that's got to be the international equivalent of paying for groceries with pennies. It's worth trying!

I wonder if they take coupons?

This coupon redeemable for one hundred million cents off your next interest payment when you borrow a billion more dollars!
