VOCABULARY TERM: CUPROLAMINOPHOBIA

Ken Spindler of San Diego writes:

To justify turning down my invitation to sit with me at the coin clubs' information table at the San Diego County Fair on July 4, a non-numismatic friend just claimed he has this "condition" and it prevents him from accepting. I think everyone in my family except me must have it. Maybe you have family members who suffer from it, too. I guess it's contagious. Luckily, I must be immune.

Cuprolaminophobia is the fear of coins. Since coins are made of metal, sufferers of metallophobia would readily suffer cuprolaminophobia too. Since many coins are used for money, this fear may lead to chrometophobia, but not readily. Since some coins are used as religious values, sufferers may believe that coins could summon gods or demons that they may fear.

The common method in treating cuprolaminophobia is hypnotherapy.

My wife suffers from it, too. Your guess is as good as mine if this is a "real" condition, but I did find some references to it on the internet. -Editor
