Background:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillion-dollar_coin
Given the troubles McCarthy went through to become speaker, many believe there will be upcoming fights over the budget, debt ceiling, and government shutdowns. President Biden can get around this by "minting the coin" (see above link - TL;DR, he has the authority to tell the mint to strike a platinum coin of arbitrary value to overcome limits).
Will President Biden ever mint the coin (or coins) during his administration? This resolves YES if/when two conditions are both fulfilled:
Such a platinum coin(s) is/are minted
Biden is president at the time (or was at the time the order to mint the coin was given)
