Australia's supermarket chain, credit card payment or cash payment is normal either way. With the editor's shopping experience in Australia for so long, I have not found any "unusual or stress" in payment. But! The news was a success in attracting Australia's attention: the Coles supermarket had restrictions on coin payments.
Here's what happened:
An old man, (Maria), went to the supermarket for a total of A $130. The old man paid with a $100 note and 30 Aussie coins, which was rejected by the cashier. Because the cashier said it was illegal to pay more than 30 coins in Australia. Are you sure this isn't a joke?
Having lived in Australia for so long is not only the first time the old man has encountered such a thing, including many Australians who say they have never heard of such a strange law. In the end, however, it was confirmed that there were legal provisions restricting the use of coins:
The (Reserve Bank of Australia) website of the Reserve Bank of Australia states that in Australia, the total amount of coins to be paid in 5c, 10c, 20c and 50c Australian dollars shall not exceed 5 Australian dollars if they are to be paid with coins, 5c, 10c, 20c and 50c; And if $1, 2 Australian coins are paid, the total amount paid shall not exceed 10 times the denomination of the coins used.
The reason for this is also for the convenience of the cashier, who would have collapsed if everyone spent a lot of coins.
In addition, according to the editor after the search found that Australia's bizarre laws of the brain is not too big! The whole man was confused after reading it.
Really? Law
1. In Western Australia, it is illegal to own more than 50 kilograms of potatoes. Since there is only one potato marketing agency in Western Australia, (Potato Marketing Corporation), they have the right to stop any "vehicle that could carry more than 50 kilograms of potatoes," a bizarre rule that began in 1946. Nothing else, just willfulness!
In Australia, it is illegal for minors to buy tobacco products, but it is not illegal for them to smoke. No wonder there's always a lot of teenager in the movies to help buy cigarettes.

4. It is illegal to "tattoo" a drunk person. Under the rules, tattoos for drunken people, or any other form of "physical modification", will be fined A $5000 or imprisoned for a year. So, if someone messes with you like this, then ta is an offence.
5. In Victoria and South Australia, it is illegal to harm carrier pigeons. Australia's "humanitarianism" spirit of animal protection is felt by everyone, and it is really because of Australia's strong protection of carrier pigeons that these pigeons are not afraid of human beings at all.
6. It is illegal to falsely publish news of marriage, birth, death or new work in Kunzhou. Australia "fight fake" work is done very well!

It is illegal to pretend to be a divination or pseudo-psychic. If someone claims to have a divination or psychic power, if found to be a fraud, and customers believe it is, ta will be fined A $10, 000, or two years in prison.
Fake? Law
1. In Victoria, it is illegal to change your own light bulb. Well, in that case, if the light bulb in the house breaks down, sit and wait all night? "I'm sure it's not illegal to change your own bulb in Victoria," a spokesman for (Energy Safe Victoria), the state's energy security agency, denied the statement. According to the electric power safety law (Electricity Safety Act), no electrician qualification is not allowed to carry out electrical work, but changing the bulb, pulling the plug is not an electrician's work. "
It is illegal to approach or enter a house frequented by thieves. The rumour is said to have come from the state's 1966 Traveller Management Act, which was repealed in 2005.
In Victoria, women are not allowed to wear pink shorts on Sunday afternoons-holiday afternoons. Australia is a democratic and legal society. If you think about this rule in mind, you will find it unreliable.
4. Brighton Beach, Victoria requires a swimsuit to be worn from the neck to the knee. No bikinis are allowed, or you can't swim. The rule was said to have been abolished a long time ago.
It is illegal to walk on the right side of the road in Australia. In a nutshell, which side a pedestrian walks on depends not on the left or right, but on the direction of the moving vehicle. If facing is a two-way road, you need to walk to the right.
