now this is a way to pay a fine.... (6)
jem1964: Samsung had to pay Apple $1 billion dollars in fines, but the courts didnt stipulate how the monies had to be paid....
read about how Samsung delivered payment here...
Think there might be a few casual jobs in the Apple headquarters counting 5c coins going..

Knew it was a hoax the minute I read this. Funny story though.

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story...

aww shucks, sorry shoulda checked it out a bit before posting, but still thought it is good for a laugh
Well even before I went searching for the origin of the story to see if it was a hoax, I could "feel" that it wasn't possible.
I just did some calculations to prove it:
$1bn x 20 5c pieces to a dollar
20 x 10^9 pcs
Let's estimate that a 5c piece weighs 10g?
hence 200 x 10^9 g
divide by 1,000,000 to get tonnes
ie 200 x 10^3 t
there were supposedly 30 trucks?
200,000t / 30 = 6667 tonnes per truck.
Huge trucks or what?
Are there even that many nickels in circulation in the US? There's another research project.

But if it were true how genius would that be and what a massive headache it would be
