This morning more than 30 trucks filled up with coins of 5 cents arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security company that protects the facility said it was diverted to the wrong place, but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO explaining that they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company in this way.
the funny part is that the signed document does not specify a single payment method, so Samsung is entitled to send him to the creators of the iPhone its billion dollars as they deem best.
This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple executives in the sense of the method that they need to apply for counting all that money, check if it is complete and try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank will accept to receive that.
Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style” and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it.

:roll
 
I really want to see one turn up at Happy's.

Only for the range of emotions it'd cause.

Can't be done in Australia

well, technically yes it can, but only if person being paid accepts it. They have a right to refuse the tender if it is over a certain amount.

$5 in 5c coins
$10 in 10c coins
$20 in 20c coins
and so on…

i'd be suprised if a similar rule doesn't exist in the US
 
Legal tender as Kul describes it.

Perhaps the US don't have it? Either, it's funny as hell since I despise Apple…

Mate I won't knock back a truckful of 5c

Use it to pay for the Tigers or Golf membership
 
I had someone pay for their meal in 5 and 10c before. Do I have a right to reuse that?
