A man from Adelaide in Australia has devised a way to get his frustration over a parking fee out. He has paid the entire amount in coins, annoying a city worker and trying to prove his case.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out very well, as recorded in the video above. He racks up $60 (US$56 / €42) in 10 cent (US$0.09 / €0.07) coins, but he is unaware that the city can reject them if they are over a certain sum.

According to Life Hacker, he is only allowed to pay a maximum of $5 (US$4.7 / €3.5) in a combination involving 10 cent (US$0.09 / €0.07) coins.

He makes the payment, but it is thrown out and his ticket is still valid, which means he has to come back with bills.
