A READER has written to The Oban Times after receiving a parking ticket after she tried to pay with the new £1 coins.
She even left a note on the dashboard of her car, with the coins, explaining the situation.
Mary Brown said: ‘I got a ticket today as I couldn’t get the machine to accept my two £1 coins, so I left a note explaining with my two coins visible on the dashboard to show that I had tried to pay, and still a hard-hearted warden gave me a ticket.
