But it erodes faith in the currency and that is, ultimately, what gives it value.

sure, but as an outsider looking in - the thing that erodes my faith in the currency is not the minting of a trillion dollar coin, it's the complete disfunction of governance that leads to a situation where this is even considered.
And the harm is already done on that front.
This is relatively low impact compared to other shenanigans.
