Azazello1313 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 would be pretty funny, but really, would any company pay however many thousands of dollars extra and risk some sort of sanction from the court in order to pull off a prank like that? I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheikYerbuti Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Samsung should pay the fine exactly like Larry Flint did: $1 bills stuffed in garbage bags, delivered by hookers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 That would have been hilarious. Too bad it wasn't true. But I'd guess that Samsung would have incurred additional expenses to do this as well, the trucks to deliver the bags of coins, getting that much change from the banks (would take time and resources). Reminds me of Seinfeld when Kramer tries to pay for the calzones with his pockets full of change (all while asking the guy to lightly toast his clothes after they get wet).

Ditkaless Wonders Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 There have been court challenges to similar payments when they have actually occured. Sometimes the Court allows spite payments, more often the Court finds the spiteful payer in contempt. My question, are there one billion dollars worth of nickles in circulation?

Sometimes the Court allows spite payments, more often the Court finds the spiteful payer in contempt. My question, are there one billion dollars worth of nickles in circulation? That would seem possible based on this info (source) "There was approximately $1.1 trillion in circulation as of August 22, 2012, of which $1.08 trillion was in Federal Reserve notes." So about $20 billion in coins (if I'm reading notes properly as currency), depends on what that is made up of. Even if nickles are only a small portion there would be over a billion worth in circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
