    Highly unlikely. In Ireland coins are not legal tender in quantities greater than 50 (coins) precisely to stop that type of stunt. I'd be amazed if there wasn't a similar provision in US law.

    Its from Humor Magazine
    and it in
    Forums
    HOME › HUMOR › SATIRE › APPLE

    And ends with "You didn’t think this could be real right? but hey! you loved it"

    It wasnt even well written or funny. Thanks for wasting 10seconds of my life :(

    $1 billion in 5c coins is worth over $2 billion in the commodity price of copper and nickel so it would have been a rather dumb and costly mistake made by Samsung so doubt it happened:)

    Just in case there's still any doubt, this is 100% fake. Somebody suggested it as a joke and then sites start posting it as fact. Sure Samsung are appealing the decision anyway.
