Message:: [QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3535409, member: 92083"]I am working on a book and I created three new terms that I hope will catch on. You can say I coined them myself! 1. "Collectorate" - All of the people in the world who collect any type of coin or form of currency produced by a government to be used in commerce or as commemorative issues. 2. "Rejectorate" - All of the people in the world whose focus of collecting includes genuine errors and/or die varieties (NOT "varieties"....DIE VARIETIES). 3. "Fauxectorate" (Pronounced "fo-ECK-tor-et") - All of the people in the world who collect counterfeits, altered coins/currency, replicas, and/or fantasy pieces which resemble genuine or unaltered government-minted coins/currency. These are all plays on the political term "electorate." I do not yet have a term for those who collect medals or tokens. What do you think?
