名词 n.
  1. An amount of money, used as a basis of a penalty fine, which can be adjusted by the government without the need to pass new legislation. Australia
    — In 1987 the Penalty Units and Other Penalties Act introduced a new scheme for financial penalties. The penalty provisions in a number of Acts containing commonly occurring offences were amended to specify the fine in penalty units rather than a specific sum. The value of a penalty unit is specified in the Penalty Units and Other Penalties Act, s 4, currently at $100. All offences now specify fines in penalty units.
