I hate people like this, had to deal with assholes like this before. I'm sure Aus has laws in place that limit payments in coinage to a degree but in the UK I'm not aware of anything so I've had to take some twat paying a £200 bill in 20p. Took me an hour to count it.
Australia has a $5 limit if using 1c, 2c, 5c, 20c, or 50c coins. They didn't have to take the money, but supposedly they didn't send him another letter to make him pay it again.
what a brave man - wasting the time of low-level government employees sure stuck it the the man!

i believe £10 is the maximum you have to accept in 20p coins
In theory people who do this are usually considered to have the right to go "haha KARMA BITCH that'll teach you to fine me!", but when you see it in motion it's really just a dude being an asshole to people who have nothing to do with it :\
This reminds me of when a couple of my friends bought something from Best Buy using change. The guy that had to count it was a real douche too (prior events). What's really funny is they found the guy a second time and he remembered them and they did it again ha.
People who pay anything more than five bucks in coins are grade A douchebags and need to be clobbered with their own change in a sock.
what a fuckwit, it's not like doing this proves anything and it just means someone who's uninvolved has to deal with it.
what annoys me most is how he pushes the coins all over the place like a child
I always try to count all my coins before buying some like Coffee so I waste little time as possible
This happened to me the other day. The guy even had to go out into his car to get more quarters, or at least the Norwegian equivalent. No shame.
The woman behind the desk didn't give you the fine you know
The only way I can see this being acceptable is if you bring a change sorter with you and apologize profusely for your stupidness.
Hell if I ever run a place like that where its likely people will pay with coins to be assholes, I'm buying every desk clerk an electric change counter and mounting it so they can just scrape their desk into the sorter and count their coins in front of them in 10 seconds.
I'll be sure to tell the clerks to smile and get excited when they do and relish every single drop of the asshole's failed attempt at being an asshole.
"Alright, that'll be $200.25"
'Heh, okie dokie'
-sack o' nickles-
"Okay, if you'll just give me a second"
-slides coins into machine-
-loud whirring noise as coins are sorted-
-sign flashing "[B]v-RUDE PATRON-v[/B]" above their head-
-coins are sorted into tubes-
"Sir, you're $.23 off"
