No, it's when Exxon wants more money.

I am curious who would usually or commonly be using this word,
or in what circumstances, or what fields,
the term exonumia is generally used and recognized.

Such as, would we expect to see it, regarding auctions, or study of history or anthropology, or hobby collections, or something else?

 

[Ruthanne]

I used to have exonumia until I sold it all and realized I got less than I should've.
