Samsung HAS NOT paid Apple $1bn in coins

Internet rumour that Samsung bitch-slapped Apple by sending them 21 billion five cent coins is amazingly untrue.
The story goes…
Yesterday, more than 30 trucks filled with five cent coins arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California.
Apple security were in the process of freaking out before Apple CEO Tim Cook was called by Samsung explaining that they will pay all$1.05 billion dollars of their fine in coins, and this was the first instalment.
Various legitimate sources have reported the story, saying that as the court did not specify a payment method, Samsung can pay Apple the enormous fine however they see fit, and it has chosen to be the biggest troll in the world.
Sadly, the story is not true at all. So, over the next few days when someone passes it off as fact, you can set them straight. The story originated on humour site 9gag, a place normally reserved for z-list memes and screenshots of Facebook statuses.
