Imagine being a debt holder that the US owes trillions to. And the US is about to break their debt cap, and they just say "Nah, we just made this coin. It's worth $1 trillion, so we're liquid again."

That's not how this works. The debt ceiling isn't about taking on new debt, it's about authorizing payment for debt we have already incurred. Your analogy is closer to a debt holder being told the US is going to make payments because they decided not to.
