Absolutely, this never happened.

In other news, the word gullible has been removed from the dictionary.

+1 it's a myth. Firstly, he number of coins required would be more than ever existed in the history of 5 cents.

Secondly, apple could decline payment because of legal tender eg in the UK, you can lots of 5p coins up to a value £5 and it's legal but after that, it's no longer recognised as legal tender.

Thirdly, the number of trucks required would be about 3000 and not 30.

I always like this video when you talking about large sums of money , the $100 dollar bill is similar to a £50 note (ish) so the size of the pile would also be similar in £'s
