I was wondering what the collective noun would be for coin fanatics such as those who would read this?

A mint of collectors?
A noodle of collectors?
A Cud of collectors?

A coin collector is often called a "numismatist."


Coin collectors are referred to as Numismatists, and the study of coins is also called Numismatics.

A roll of collectors. An album of collectors. An accumulation of collectors.

Thanks for this topic, I like the thought process.



An issue of collectors?
A cast of collectors?
A number of 'numismaticocologists'?

I believe that the collective noun for experts is "battery" hence: "a battery of numismatists." :-)
