Just destroy the money.
There should be no incentive for the government to collect fines. We should incentivize fewer crimes and fewer fines, not more.
If you're worried about deflation, then another solution would be to put all the fines collected into a fund that is split up and given directly back to the citizenry every year. But the point is that crime shouldn't fund government as it's a perverse incentive.
