PER CURIAM.
We reverse the trial court’s order imposing a $3,100 fine for appellant’s failure to timely pay $10.52 in accrued interest. AppeEant paid all other required sums, and the fine was not employed to compensate appeEee for losses she sustained or to coerce appeUant into compliance with a previously issued order. See Johnson v. Bednar, 573 So.2d 822, 824 (Fla.1991). The imposition of the fine in this case, therefore, constitutes an abuse of discretion.
REVERSED.
