Yeah, annoying for the poor teller admittedly. (Buy them a box of chockies to say sorry). Annoying to have to wait until it's counted too but hey, protest involves sacrifice sometimes.
Now multiply that a few times if you can organise a bunch of bikers to do it at the same time at the same PostShop and it becomes noticeable. Get a heap of bikers to do it at the same place and time and advise the media that there will be a novel form of protest at a particular place and time and you might just get some traction out of it.
Perfectly legal and I believe that as cash is legal tender it cannot be refused (although IRD have refused to accept cash in the past I believe). This scheme ranges in usefulness from a single man protest if done alone up to a publicity stunt if done en-masse. And it's the gift that keeps on giving as we can do it now and if levies do rise we can keep on doing it into the future.(Just don't pick a PostShop with a coin-counting machine.
