  VOCABULARY WORD SEARCH: A NUMMIS-DISEASE?
  

  Inspired by last week's vocabulary word, Chrematophobia
  (the fear of money), Tom DeLorey writes: "In the coin shop
  today, I was talking with a distinguished gentleman visitor,
  and when I gave him my card he asked what a numismatist
  was. I explained the Greek root nummis, and he said that
  there was a very rare dermatological condition the name of
  which began with either numis or numia (wish I could
  remember the full name) because the lesions in question are
  round like coins. Is there a doctor in the house?"
  

  [I had those lesions once, after my wife whacked me upside
  the head with a bag of coins I was looking through.
