Just a word of warning IF you end up paying the fine
Some councils will not accept 5, 10, 20, 50 cent pieces as payment

They have too its legal currency,anyway thats what i told them when i payed my last one.

I think only a certain amount can be used as "legal tender" to stop people doing this very thing.

From rba.gov

According to the Reserve Bank Act 1959, Australian banknotes are legal tender. According to the Currency Act 1965, coins are legal tender for payment of amounts which are limited as follows:

not exceeding 20c if 1c and/or 2c coins are offered (however, it should be noted that these coins have been withdrawn from circulation but are still legal tender);

not exceeding $5 if any of 5c, 10c, 20c and 50c coins are offered;

not exceeding 10 times the face value if coins in the range 50c to $10 inclusive are offered; and
to any value if coins of value greater than $10 are offered.

These general comments are offered only as a guide and should not be taken as legal advice. If further clarification is required, you should obtain legal advice.

Right, so when I won a SANFL GF bet in 1987 against my next door neighbour who was a bays fan - and he paid me $10 in 1 and 2c coins, I could have refused the payment

Not sure if paying in small coins is such a good idea. The Council employee is getting paid while they count it, and you aren't!

Got my letter from the Council today stating they were withdrawing the fine....

Predictable. Now u should make a complaint. Also send them an account for all the time you spent researching it, phone calls etc. They will pay up!!!!!
