An Indonesian civil servant who owed his ex-wife a large alimony has paid back some Rs 7.32 lakh worth of missed payments - in coins. Dwi Susilarto arrived at court hauling a dozen sacks filled with 153 million rupiah (Rs 7.32 lakh) in small change, a hefty payment that weighed in at about 890 kilograms, his lawyer said.

A fight nearly broke out between the man and his ex-wife's lawyer, who refused to count the money transported in a wheelbarrow pushed by the 54-year-old and two friends.
