A Four-Part reference question by another library patron

A library patron asks a four-part question during a reference interview:

• My son is interested in starting a coin collection. Can you tell me the name of that hobby?
• He is very much interested in the history of the U.S. Mint. Do you have a brief reading about its history?
• I, personally, am interested in knowing if there were ever any $5,000 bills printed. If so, how many are in circulation as of 2006 and who appears on it?
• While, I want to get my wife some books on Irish and/or French cooking. Do you know of any titles that are in print?

Step 1 Let's first focus on the question about the name for the hobby of coin collecting...

Q: My son is interested in starting a coin collection. Can you tell me the name of that hobby?

Let's use a specialized glossary.

Specifically, we'll use "Coin Collecting Words and their Meanings: A Glossary of Coin Collecting Acronyms Words and Definitions," a page on the Lynn Coins and Sports Card Shop Website: http://lynncoins.com/dictionary_of_coin_collecting_terms.htm
