VOCABULARY WORD: PARANUMISMATICA 

   We discussed numismatic word definitions several issues ago. 
   Mr. Withers' web site uses a word your American-bred Editor 
   hadn't seen before:  paranumismatica.  In context: "World 
   Paranumismatica  -  Tokens, Countermarks and the like from 
   around the globe." 

   A web search turned up 25 pages using the term, one defining 
   it as the "British term for exonumia"  I'm sure Paul would prefer 
   a definition along the lines of "Exonomia: American term for 
   paranumismatica"
