numismatics \noo-miz-MAT-iks; -mis-; nyoo-\, noun:
Pronunciation: http://0rz.tw/cc4Re
the collection and study of money (and coins in particular).
If [the modern counterfeiter] is satisfied with a so-so product,
perhaps hoping to pass it in a crowded fast-food restaurant or
in a saloon's dim light, he can download images of genuine bills
from the Internet, simply by getting access to the Web site of a
numismatics club, then run off his own bills.
-- "Officials Wary of Wave of Computer Counterfeiters", New York
Times, March 12, 1998
Numismatics...is, in the main, an auxiliary to the knowledge of
the trade and mutual intercourse of the ancients.
-- J. Leitch
Numismatics ultimately derives from the Greek nomos, a custom or
convention, which has the derivative nomisma, anything sanctioned
by custom, especially the current State coin. It can also refer
to the study and collection of medals.
