If it's legal tender, you should be able to spend it like any other coin, however the point of those limited edition coins is that they become collectable and worth more than their face value. If you simply spend it or trade it for it's cash equivalent you'd expect to loose out of the deal.

I know there are certain shops that actually collect coins and collectables of that nature. Theres one near me, for the life of me cannot remember its name.

it doesnt bother me if its collectable or whatnot i have a few other collectable items i just need the cash thats all

legal tender or not, you'd be hard pressed to find a store that'd accept it as currency. most shopkeepers wouldn't recognise it and wouldn't accept it. i had some $5 coins for a while and even though they came sealed in a commonwealth bank sleeve, they wouldn't accept them at the teller counter.
i think i ended up giving up.

yeah thats what i thought who would go into a shop and try and pay with a $200 coin if i was working there i would laugh and say "are you serious mate"

[danja]

While I'm sure that does happen, technically if it is legal tender they must accept it as payment. It's against the law not to.

And retailers will just refuse service.

Price depends on lots of things.........you need cash in a hurry so you can't afford to bargain too much.

cant help you much with the coin, but what sort of fine is it? If its a traffic one no biggy they will just send u a reminder notice if you didn't pay buy the date giving you another 28 or maybe 30 days to pay, thats in nsw anyway.

I'd take it - before it goes down to $75 - we know you need the money desperately...

ask to pay it in instalments, if they know your getting paid the day after it should be fine.

[Julie]

are you trying to be funny fuzz? If so you are failing miserably

OP maybe try some pawn brokers, or even better borrow it off your folks

[Philthy]

I had a reasonably big fine to pay last year (Vic), and I went in the day before it was due and said I might have a bit of trouble getting the money together as I'm a student. She just gave me a 1 month extention on the spot with no extra charge. You could always try that even though its already late

[digger747]

im finshed with this thread so use can close if u need
