VOCABULARY WORD: CHREMATOPHOBIA

  E-Sylum readers love words, and we occasionally feature
  unusual numismatically-related words.  In the November/
  December issue of PAPER MONEY, the official journal of the
  Society of Paper Money Collectors, editor Fred L. Reed III
  writes: "I thought I knew it all, but I learned a new word
  recently: Chrematophobia (fear of money).  It seems
  futurists are the principal sufferers of this malady.
  Their phobic crystal balls forsee imminent demise of money
 (as we knew it and collected it in our lifetimes).
  Electronic blips will replace cash, checks, credits and
  the other stuff of which our collections are comprised.
  Since it's hard to collect blips, I for one am glad I'm
  inoculated against Chrematophobia, aren't you"?
