> (4) high denominations coin minting

Far and away the most entertaining path. Who gets to carry the trillion dollar coin from the mint to the treasury? How many heist plots will be foiled? How many movies about said heist plots will be made? Will there be a elaborate motorcade that's ultimately a ruse while the coin is sent by USPS in a plain envelope?

We should pick America's wealthiest and therefore most trustworthy citizen to do the job.

Bizarrely enough, Simpsons did it.[0]

Sounds like something Cobra from GI Joe would do. But in reality, it would have little value to anyone other than the intended bearer.
