Samsung pays Apple $1 Billion sending 30 trucks full of 5 cent coins

I dont even care that its not true. The fact that maybe for 30 seconds people thought it was, is worth it.
 
Not sure if Apple has offices in Canada. If they did, Samsung could pay them in pennies before they went out of circulation.

Unless court specified, any legal payment is legal payment. If Apple refused payment then, along with proper documentation, Samsung would have met their obligation.

Sorry, no. Perhaps if the coins were rolled, but that might (would) force the payee to unroll the coins and count them. A few missing coins from even 10% of the rolls is a substantial sum.

I believe the law says an unreasonable amount of coins can be refused and certainly, the amount supposedly paid in coin is an unreasonable amount to be sure. I believe a merchant can refuse payment in coins as well; there is no law that forces me to accept payment in coin. No reason Apple has to either.

Until the coins are counted and the amount verified, SS is still on the hook. No debt was settled until the final count is in and it can take a long time to count that many coins.
