Funny idea but impractical.
There simply aren't enough 5 cent pieces in circulation.

This isn't true. Don't spread it.
It was a joke.
It also isn't possible. Samsung doesn't owe a

| Interestingly, this is not possible in the UK, and for quite small amounts. I
think too many people have tried it too many times.
What can you pay for with 1p and 2p coins? Not an £800

And since this is a legally biased site, here's the Coinage Act 1971
to prove it. See section 2 "Legal Tender". [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
