    The FAQ on the Central Bank of Ireland's website suggests that 50 coins is the maximum. Even at that, it will only apply to State bodies in my view.

    Retailers have absolute discretion to refuse payment in any denomination as a result of their discretion not to sell.

    So ever really want to not pay a fine, well this Adeliade man wanted the last laugh.

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/money/cost-of-living/adelaide-man-tries-to-pay-city-council-parking-fine-with-5c-pieces/story-fni0cp8i-1226720017974

    He did not get the last laugh or any laugh except maybe from fellow cranks, did you you actually read that article before you posted a link that didn't convert to a hotspot?

    Even in the URL you can see that he 'tries to pay' - not that he actually paid the fine and in the first paragraph you can see that he failed......

    A cranky recipient of a $60 parking fine nearly got his revenge on his local council last Friday when he attempted to pay his outstanding fee with 1200 five cent coins.

    Only if you haven't already got a debt, like petrol or a restaurant, but they can still refuse too many coins. How would it work then as I know they can refuse more than 50 coins, but the person is offering to pay?

    Just to second you on this. The Economic and Monetary Union Act, 1998 covers this.
    “10(1) No person, other than the Central Bank of Ireland and such persons as may be designated by the Minister by order, shall be obliged to accept more than 50 coins denominated in euro or in cent in any single transaction.”
