Has anyone heard about this recently? I've taken it from THIS website

Man pays parking fine with toilet paper
Thursday, December 18 2008, 01:28 GMT
By Michael Thornton
A man who protested a parking fine by sending his payment in toilet roll has escaped punishment.
63-year-old Richard Roper from Suffolk sent in his £30 fine carefully printed on two sheets of toilet paper after his bank told him it was a perfectly legal way to pay.
"My payment has been written on stationery which aptly reflects my feelings towards the system which I am unfortunately forced to support through my taxes," said Roper, who was forced to sit at the back of court as a resolution to the matter.
He added: "This is not a case of not wishing or refusing to pay but a case of the authorities refusing to accept my payment. What I did here was done in good humour."
Roper conceded that he may now be a "marked man" with traffic wardens, but admitted: "I have several cars so they won't find it easy to target me."
Could be worth investigating if there is some legal loophole that could be taken advantage of here?

You can pay by cheque without it being a cheque. Pretty sure in the past someone paid money to someone by painting the bank details on th side of a cow
