This is why at work when people ask me how they can pay I respond with “Anything but pennies.” I would probably draw the line at all nickels as well.
Samsung pays Apple $1 Billion sending 30 trucks full of 5 cent coins | News Hound.
Update: Ah well, I thought perhaps it was too funny to be true. In talking about this with a co-worker I wondered where they would get all the nickels to pay $1 billion. After quick search found that this has been floating around for awhile and is not true. It would take virtually every nickel in circulation to actually accomplish this.
Apparently though, if they could come up with all the nickels, Apple could very well be compelled to accept it as payment.
