Two dollar coins !

The installation of parking meters in Wollongong will surely result in a change in our attitude to two dollar coins.For the first time we will need to ensure that this item of currency is readily available to feed those hungry revenue raisers - and there will be predictable results !Wait for the appearance of signs in city shops warning that changing of money will not be made without a purchase.Wait for an increase in car theft, as thieves reason that most motorists will secrete two dollar coins in ash trays or the glove box to be " meter ready ".Wait for the angry response when those who use " plastic " to feed the meters realise that the banks will also take their cut from this added card use.Up until this time Wollongong people have been blissfully unconcerned at the mix of coin in their pocket or change purse. Sorting of the " mix " was sufficient to achieve the required amount needed.That changed dramatically when the city added parking meters !
