I think I must be reading the Onion because this smells of hoax, but if it's not it's either hilarious or jack-assery. The article, Samsung-pays-apple-1-billion-sending-30-trucks-full-of-5-cents-coins that I found via Newshound states:
This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security company that protects the facility said the trucks were in 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.
It's devious sure, but I wonder how much it cost Samsung to do it this way. My next question would be . . . why call them "five cent coins" instead of nickels. My final question . . . why not send pennies?
