Paying tickets in Australia
« on: September 16, 2013, 07:11:33 pm »

This made me smile, and reminded me of a couple Australian users we have kicking around here:

(As a warning, there's some language towards the end.)

She actually could have handed them all back to him and told him to go away, as there's a limit of $5 total 5c coins you can hand over at one time :-)

That guy should have had a chat to jmone. If he had, he would have paid for his fine with a box of baby chooks!

Now that would be something worth posting a video on the net for..  :o

I wonder what they did with the money.

I would think they were forced to count it, he does have proof he paid it.

They just put it in a safe for his collection as it is not legal currency:

Quote
Australian notes are legal tender, as established by the Reserve Bank Act 1959[5] for all amounts. Australian coins for general circulation, now produced at the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra, are also legal tender, under the provisions of the Currency Act 1965,[6] but only for the following amounts:
not exceeding 20¢ if 1¢ and/or 2¢ coins are offered;
not exceeding $5 if any of 5¢, 10¢, 20¢ and 50¢ coins are offered;
not exceeding 10 times the face value if the coins offered are greater than 50¢ but less than $10;
to any value if face value is $10 or greater is offered.

Unfortunately I've had similar poor results using alternative currency.....I can not recommend:
- Muffins
- Eagles BD
- Chickens
- Sparking Shiraz

Well... the muffins worked the best  ;D

This "currency" worked once.  So maybe beer and not wine is the secret. 


What is a good time to drop this off today?
