There's a rumour doing the rounds on social media that when Apple won the mutual patent infringement case with Samsung, the South Korean firm tried to pay its $1 billion fine in nickels (five cent pieces). The story goes that the company sent 30 trucks with the money, as a final insult to the firm.

Like all good rumours on social media, this one is absolute rubbish.
