I don't know how you read that article and thought that the story would be even remotely true.

 

[teruterubozu]

How did anyone think this was a real story?

The burning desire to see Apple eat crow, obviously.

 

[freenudemacusers]

People actually believed Samsung rolled up to Apple HQ with 20,000,000,000 nickels? That would be over 22,000 tons of nickels, the weight of around 45 airplanes. Goddamn dudes...

today op was stupid

5 grams per nickel

20,000,000,000 nickels in 1 billion dollars

20,000,000,000 nickels * 5 grams/nickel = 110 231.131 tons

Normal 18 wheeler can hall 25 tons max

110,231(rounded down) tons/ 25 tons = 4410 trucks filled with nickels.

If somebody showed up at a bank or the mint and asked for 20B nickels they would laugh and tell you to GTFO. There's probably a lot of people who try to get ridiculous numbers of one currency. Plenty of angry people who have to pay fines or court settlements who think it would be funny. Not original.

25 Billion nickels in circulation. So Samsung would have to round up 80% of the total nickels to pay off the $1 billion.

Seems more than plausible. If you suspend your belief in logic.

Give the boy a tag.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Guys I blame it on having watched confessions of a shopaholic the other week. I just wanted it to be real. I just wanted it to be real.

Aside from the story being obviously fake; isn't there some proviso in US law that allows businesses to not be required to accept large amounts of coin money as payment. So even if this DID somehow magically happen, Apple could just turn around and say 'Nope'.
