Japan May Or May Not Mint Quadrillion Yen Coins, But It Will Monetize European Debt
Just when we thought America would be alone in crossing into the montary twilight zone where so many Keynesian lunatics have gone before, and where trillion dollar platinum coins fall from the sky right onto the heads of all those who have not even the faintest understanding of money creation, here comes Japan:
- ASO: JAPAN TO BUY ESM BONDS
- ASO SAYS JAPAN TO BUY ESM BONDS USING FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES
- ASO: ESM PURCHASES WILL HELP TO STABILIZE YEN
- JAPANESE FINANCE MINISTER ASO SPEAKS TO REPORTERS IN TOKYO
- ASO SAYS AMOUNT OF JAPAN’S ESM BOND BUYS UNDECIDED
For those who have forgotten, the E in ESM stands for European (the S for Stability), not Japanese (Stability). Otherwise it would be, er... well, JSM. Keynesian at that. But yes - Japan will now proceed to "stabilize" itself by monetizing European debt. Because its own JPY 1 quadrillion in debt was not enough.
As for a rehash of the old lunacy, which just like the OMT has driven the JPY much lower on nothing but innuendo and speculation, and will end the second the BOJ's plan is formalized, we get:
- ASO WANTS STATEMENT ON BOJ, GOVT COOPERATION
- AMARI SAYS GOVT, BOJ TO COOPERATE ON PRICE TARGET
Of course, when the latest and greatest "invention" out of the soon to be annexed 4th branch of Japanese government fails, and this time is not different after all, Japan will shock everyone when it unveils to the world...

I refuse to make fun of Japan.
They are our true masters.
We've been following their lead for five years.
Debt. Money printing. Endless recession. Deflation.

Aka, global debt circle jerk
Apparently no difference now between Japanese banksters and Anglo banksters.
More like a global debt nightly public circular ass fuck. It's starting to become difficult to watch.
I'm so fucking cheering for the fucking trillion dollar coin...
it doesn't get more zimbabwe than that. Let's pray they do it.
At least the air would be backed by something.....hell.....it's a start I suppose.
Eventually, as a novelty item, some collector would PAY the Trillion/Quadrillion for the coin.
Roll tide, time to adjust the power ranking for the SEC, again. Georgia-Alabama was the championship game. How many red states in the SEC again?

It' s my understanding that Monopoly will be taking over the creation of the Trillion $$ coin and all future currency. The Monopoly game currency has actually become more valuable than US currency.
The patients are running the insane asylum.
YES!
It's getting crazier by the second.
Clearly when they start confusing their acronyms with calculus we've aleady crossed the rubicon.
It sounds like they are creating the Japanese International Stability Mechanism.
I'm not sure if that's an acronym or not though?
+2000. 1k for the nic, 1k for the acronym
Hahaha, kamakazi monetary policy!! Can't.make.this.shit.up
So when do the OMF purchases begin?
O in OMF stands for Outright (the M and F stand for..). Well, you know.
So...wait...what you're saying is...that Japan is so desperate to deflate their currency, they are threatening to buy worthless Euro bonds? LOL! Have at it then.
Good grief...who is left?
The Japanese will be dying en mass pretty soon it would seem.
I am in a Tokyo suburb and today I was at the post office which in Japan is also a depository insitution. The line on the banking side was curriously very long. What I don't know is whether they were withdrawing, depositing or buying bonds. As you may know the wifes are holding the purse strings.
I may have an answer tomorrow.
last week I was at the bank near the kamata station and was exchanging dollars to yen.
i also saw long lines but it seemed they were making deposits not withdrawing.
ps my wife was with me :)
What a coincidence! It had to be Nishi Kamata that's were soft bank is I think.
Wow! This is brilliant! What metal will they choose to mint the coins? Let's hope that whatever they choose, it won't be radioactive.
They should choose gold then. I understand that many of the other metals will become radioactive when exposed to radiation.
You don't want to have to repatriate a bunch of glowing coins when the American Occupation Force arrives to clean up what's left of Japan after the Fuckyshima incident has killed off the final Japanese citizen.
Markets will all go up in a straight line from here on fake money, all who short will lose everything to inflation unless they buy gold
International finance gets easier by the day. How the hell did everyone miss this fiendishly simple fixes before?
What Happen If U.S. Treasury Can Just Create A Trillion Dollar Coin Out of Thin Air

The Trillion Dollar Coin (via WSJ)
Video: The Trillion Dollar Coin Explainedhttp://www.dailypaul.com/268934/the-trillion-dollar-coin-explained
If they can mint (print) a trillion dollar coin to deposit at the Fed why not mint (print) enough to buy the Fed and all the central banks in the world and own all the shit?
Doubtful that this would lead to anyone thinking (I <3) Kruggers the wooly garden gnome is batshit, off the walls, one scoop short of a sundae, loose screws, anally probed by aliens, is nuts.
"have the Treasury sell pieces of paper labeled “moral obligation coupons”, which declare the intention of the government to redeem these coupons at face value in one year."
Ladies and gents, prima facie evidence that Krugman is a ****ing scumbag who does not give a damn if all people on fixed incomes starve to death. Give this man another Nobel. Oh, wait, there's no inflation, hasn't been any, and won't be any (but when there is, it's good, and the Fed can shut it down in a second if it wants) so all is well!
Come on Krugman, face-value in one year... you're calling for the UST to fleece people just like they are with bondholders, ****ing jackass.
There's more.
"It should be clearly stated on the coupons that the government has no, repeat no, legal obligation to pay anything at all; you see, they’re not debt, and therefore don’t count against the debt limit. But that shouldn’t keep them from having substantial market value."
BECAUSE EVERYONE TRUSTS THAT PARAGON OF FISCAL DISCIPLINE, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT! WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO THROW THEIR MONEY AT THIS BLACKHOLE OF CORRUPTION WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A PINKY-PROMISE OF EVER BEING REPAID?
This country is so unbelieavably broke that a so-called "world-class" economist actually printed this inane bullshit under his own ****ing name.
You know how Krugman falls asleep every night? Howling with laughter at the credulous fools who think he's an honest person!
The Vapors - Turning Japanese

It never ceases to amaze me how a once proud, industrious and intelligent group of people can become such complete idiots.
Are you talking about the Japanese people or Americans?
Mexicans
the Japanese are/always have been fucked in the head. they seem to take outdated traditions well past their useful lives.
They are still proud and industrious. The answer to your question is "Demographics" and mismanagement of the excess reserves of the 60's and 70's
Before you get all wet and horny about those lovely, cuddly folks called the Japanese, please do a little research:

We are not proud anymore for sure....we appoligize.....we are not industrious...we do not want to get our hands dirty anymore....intelligent.....not the sheeple...but the elite know exactly what they are doing...they do have an end game...
Yes, but it's only fiat.
The long term effects of Radiation in the food chain and its ability to enter the blood stream and thus the brain via the spinal cortex barrier is, as yet, unresolved. There has been some observations taken over the last two years that seem to acknowledge that Radiation has destroyed the 'Rational' part of the Brain in the Higher Order Japanese while the lesser classes such as workers and Housewives have had dying off of the Frontal Lobe that produces human feelings of trust and care.
I laymans terms .... The leaders are Certifyably Insane and the people just don't give a Fuck anymore.
How about some Fukashima commemorative coins with MOX and a half life of 250,000 years?
They would sure beat the hell out of Obama/Mugabe/Krugman's Platinum coin.

why 1 trillion, that is just myopic. make it a cool
double quad plus. and why deposit it in the fed's
vault? put it by my house, no? or it may end up at
the bottom of a lake or lost at sea. no problem,
mint another couple just for grins.
It's like guy who can't swim is sitting in a leaking boat in the middle of the ocean and throws one remaining oar (which he actualy doesn't have) to drowning person nearby...
Just one wafer thin mint...

Which empty Ft Knox gold vault in which to store the Platinum Coin?
Knukles.. The U.S. should rent space in their empty gold vaults for the Japanese
to store all their radioactive waste. At least Fort Knox would have a real purpose.
Fort Knox does have a purpose .... Where else is the U. S. going to store all of that tungsten ?
Oh trust me ...they will build a huge new bank/storage facility in Chicago to honor the annoited one....

Get the wheelbarrows ready.
Japan, your making Bernanke and the federal reserve banksters jealous with all this currency trashing. They thought they were the leaders of currency debasement.
The US will have to catch up.
Obviously a case of debt envy.
That Kyle Bass must be feeling pretty stupid right about now, betting against Japan!

I'll monetize your debt if you monetize mine. Nobody will know who has what or what the fuck is going on. Come on it will be fun.
I'm guessing it's a deal they made with the Eurocracy. Buy ESM bonds and we'll let the JPY fall against the EUR. Otherwise they'd be quietly printing money and buying German bonds like the Swiss are doing.
It's all fucking insane. Fiat currency is going to end badly, soon.
Japan can dere-a-lique my balls!
Funny how ASO sounds so much like asshole after a few drinks.
Better levels to buy Yen i suppose, as absurd as that sounds. YIKES!
Wow, scrambling over each other. Buy up EUR, pump up EUR and drive down JPY.
Now what is EUR going to do if they want to keep the currency lower?
How will the Swiss respond since they've been buying up EUR to keep CHF lower.
Debt monetizing Europe today will equal money returning to Japan in the future - to weaken the currency when it needs it most. Or do they want to stake a claim to the Global Reserve Currency? Or are they just trying to match the US dollars going into Europe to keep the whole situation nicely balanced and stable?? Whatever...
There is a gaping hole in the hull. We are taking in a deluge of water and as the captain stands at the wheel waist deep in sea water, these demented keynsians are telling everyone to climb on board.

The Europeans better put a geiger counter next to those trillion dollar coins they receive from Japan.
They will be minted from special "Fukushima Platinum" - for export only, no returns necessary.
Isn't it spelled Geithner counter? Because, you know, it's the kind of money that's never enough, and you always have to come back for more...
Maybe they will be hot enough to power up a French reactor and feed the power grid. Two fer!

What Reagan-Thatcher bequeathed to First world as they sowed the halcyon fields of deregulated capitalism, aka pump n dump CHEAP oil, pump and dump cheap borrowed money, we will now reap; as the killing harvest of capitalism gone mad.
Issuing a Trillion Dollars,Or Yen, backed by a platinum coin is still better than a Trillion Dollars backed by debt(future promise of repayment). At least should the Financial Sector or the Goverment collapse you still get to keep the coin which,unlike debt or bonds,is a tangible thing.
welcome to anothber facet of the new normal. we have already seen that central bank actions have reduced "money productivity" to close to zero. that is, incremental additions in money supply result in no increasein economic output.
not content with the joint "central bank agreed" multi-trillion swap lines, the next round of geo political unrest will be sponsored by precisely this sort of action.
the Ministry of Finance in Japan will instruct the Bank of Japan to sell 500 hundred billion euros worth of yen (say 45 trillion yen) in order to depreciate the yen. it will do this at a rate that will shift the yen per euro fx rate by 0.5 big figues per day over a period of a few months. at the margin this will "cost" around 10 billion euros per day for 50 working days.
this will move the yen per euro rate from c. 110 - 115 all the way up to 145-155 and will also push the euro up against the dollar and the pound.
the US treasury will not call Japan a currency manipulator.
the strength of the euro will make european exports less competititve against the yen, throwing more europeans out of work whilst Asia and the US take more (radioactive) Japanese exports.
the injection of yen (via money creation by Japan) into the japanese economy will have the usual impact on the output of the japanese economy, i.e. zero. The money sloshing around in Japan will increase, leading to even less money productivity and probably below zero.
i don't really get japan's plan there ... if inflation / monetary devalution is what they are after why don't they just monetize their own debt ?
they already have
They'll kill the Yen. This is the prelude to the new Asian joint currency. They'll write down Yen debts at whatever rate they want. We're talking about the Japanese here - they can do whatever the fuck they want to - idiotic as it may be.
Am I missing something here, what's the ultimate logic of this?
weaken the yen and taint the nuclear free global trade system with radioactive japanese exports
JAPAN TO BUY ESM BONDS USING FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES Now I know Japan is finished, if they see it's doomed why not use the cash reserves to help bail out 1% bond holders in Europe? It would just be waisted trying to save Japans Public holders of debt... They are just middle class anyway and as such scheduled for destruction.
Japan realizes that the EZ is simply experiencing growth pains, which is quite normal on a project this massive in scale. It has seen the resiliency of the currency even when faced with massive outside pressure by investors and drawn the conclusion that it is here to stay. The Mediterranean nations are battling hard and will survive. What remains to be done is closer co-operation and elimination of as much of the widespread corruption as possible.
