Nummamorous

Money-loving. ''I guess all of us are nummamorous to varying degrees.''

Word not found in any dictionary. Could separate out the last part-amorous, wouod mean lover of nimma. Closest I found was a goddess of the primeval sea. But universally loved? I give up Grogie! Please define...

Found it here.

Presumably related to numismatics, study of coins, generally quite an unusual one though, not sure how this might be different from avaricious, venal or greedy. Perhaps an actual liking for the physical form of money?

Grogie, interesting word. Where did you find it?
Call Copse, good catch. Relating to coins makes a little more sense.
