In North Carolina, there is a small town called
Coinjock. Although there are other theories as to the origin of the town's name, rumor has it that the town was named after the athletic numismatist who founded the town: renowned not only for his achievements in football and wrestling, but also for his unparalleled collection of colonial-era farthings.
Had the town been named after any of his 50 numismatist friends, it would undoubtedly have been named "
Coinnerd."
