Adelaide Man's Petty Cash Stunt Backfires as Council Denies Five-Cent Coin Payment

阿德萊德男子的小額現金花招適得其反，市政府拒絕支付五美分硬幣

In a defiant display of frustration, an Adelaide man attempted to settle a $60 parking fine with an unconventional form of payment: 1,200 five-cent coins. Armed with a hidden camera, the unidentified man meticulously withdrew the hefty sum from a local bank, intent on delivering a bureaucratic headache to council officials.

一名阿德萊德男子公然表現出沮喪，試圖用一種非常規的方式支付 60 澳元的停車罰款：1,200 個 5 分硬幣。這名身份不明的男子手持隱藏攝像頭，小心翼翼地從當地一家銀行提取了巨額資金，意圖給議會官員帶來麻煩。

Upon arriving at the council office, the man boldly inquired, "Can I pay cash?" When the unsuspecting receptionist confirmed, he unceremoniously dumped the towering pile of coins onto her desk, demanding a receipt. Amidst the ensuing commotion, the woman politely declined, citing legal restrictions.

到了市議會辦公室，男子大膽詢問：“可以付現金嗎？”當毫無戒心的接待員確認後，他毫不客氣地將一大堆硬幣扔到她的桌子上，要求提供收據。在隨後的騷亂中，該女子以法律限制為由禮貌地拒絕了。

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has established clear limits on the use of coins as legal tender. As per the RBA's website, the maximum allowable payments with coins are as follows:

澳洲儲備銀行（RBA）對硬幣作為法定貨幣的使用制定了明確的限制。根據澳洲央行網站，允許使用硬幣支付的最高限額如下：

• Up to 20 cents for combinations of one-cent and two-cent coins
• Up to $5 for combinations of five-cent, 10-cent, 20-cent, and 50-cent coins
• Up to 10 times the face value for one-dollar and two-dollar coins

Undeterred, the man persisted, invoking his aversion to dealing with "corporations." However, his attempts to force the unorthodox transaction were ultimately futile.

1 分和 2 分硬幣的組合最高為 20 分 5 分、10 分、20 分和 50 分硬幣的組合最高為 5 美元 1 美元和 2 分硬幣的組合最高為面值的 10 倍該男子並沒有被嚇倒，仍然堅持下去，理由是他厭惡與「公司」打交道。然而，他試圖強行進行非正統交易的努力最終是徒勞無功的。

An Adelaide City Council spokesperson confirmed that the man's payment would not be accepted and that he remained obligated to settle the outstanding fine.

阿德萊德市議會發言人證實，該男子的付款不會被接受，他仍有義務支付未繳罰款。

The incident has sparked a debate about the practicality and legality of using large quantities of coins as payment. Some argue that such extreme tactics are justified to protest perceived bureaucratic inefficiencies, while others condemn them as disruptive and disrespectful.

該事件引發了關於使用大量代幣作為支付的實用性和合法性的爭論。有些人認為，這種極端策略是為了抗議官僚機構的低效率，而有些人則譴責它們具有破壞性和不尊重。

Regardless of one's perspective, the man's actions have illuminated the legal limitations surrounding the use of coins in Australia. As a result, future attempts to settle large debts with an abundance of small change are likely to be met with similar resistance from authorities.

無論從哪個角度來看，該男子的行為都說明了澳洲使用硬幣的法律限制。因此，未來用大量小額零錢解決巨額債務的嘗試可能會遭到當局的類似阻力。
