A phenomena that occurs only one every so often, when the moon reaches the point where it is as close to the earth as it can be. It is the biggest and brightest and most mayhemic moon you can see, and has been known to induce feral behavior in animals, people, and werewolves. Other side effects include howling, excessive sexual urges, a need to be outside, and most of all, a craving for Dinosuar BBQ.
Noun: Any coin of extremely high face value that is minted by a government Treasury; especially one that is used to bypass Congressional spending oversight or restrictions, such as a 1-Trillion Dollar platinum coin.
"Republicans won't raise the debt ceiling? Screw 'em! We'll mint a supercoin and spend it anyway!"
"With a $1 trillion coin in hand, Treasury could deposit the money into Fed accounts, and pay its debts in that manner, instead of relying on bond issuance. And none of this requires Congressional consent."
