The E-Sylum:  Volume 5, Number 46, November 17, 2002, Article 20

AND MORE WORD VARIANTS

  Bob Fritsch writes: "Continuing the discussion of other terms
  for 'numismatist', I just ran across this little comment from the
  Swiss National Bank:  "The worthless 5- and 2-centime coins
  might possibly have collector's value.  Unlike numismaticians,
  antique shops or banks, the SNB does not deal in worthless
  coins."

  [An item in the November 19, 2002 Numismatic News begins:
  "Self-proclaimed "artmatist" Tim Prusmack has compiled five
  of his Money Masterpieces into the Hi-Five Prestige Edition
  set..."   #Artmatist" is a new one on me, as was "numismatician".

  You've got to love The E-Sylum for expanding one's vocabulary.
  Where else but a dictionary or encyclopedia would you see
  these words or phrases in a single place?  -- microphotograph,
  interregnum, progeny, Sonny Bono, polymaths, doubloons,
  Looney Tunes, and mummified cat?
