An Agyrothecologist is a person who collects moneyboxes.
I was one, we had over 600 at one time but with moving to a smaller house something had to go. I still have all the NZ Post Office Book ones.
Does anyone have another interesting word?

There was an article in the NZ Womans Weekly in Feb. 1969 about two bankers who collected moneyboxes where it said they were Agyrothecologists. I do not know how the word came about but would be interested to find out.

Think it must be antique collector. I seem to have plenty (old magazines and newspapers) Is there a word for recipe collectors. I get annoyed sometimes at all the bits of paper etc with recipes jotted down from cooking shows etc and then if I want to try something special, cant find it!!
Anyone else out there?

No I did not save whole magazines just the relevant page as we had already started out collection. I have the cuttings from our local paper with our collection in 1971. We were also on TV one christmas in 1977 when they needed fillers around the news.
