A player CAN spend N+1 cimons to gain N VCs of a color that e
gained within the past week.
This would allow a player who just gained a single White VC to then
mint a large number of them.

Only by spending a larger number of VCs of multiple other colors.  In
practice, this would involve hiring a confederate, waiting 100 days,
having them do the 2-for-1 with you, then spending e.g. 10R 5G 10B to
mint another 15W.  Other rare colors would be easier, but I'm not
convinced that this would be seriously unbalancing.
