THE FIRST WORD

scripophily
That's because there are collectors who seemingly throw good money after bad in their pursuit of a hobby known as scripophily, which loosely translates as love of paper.
Scripophily (collecting stock and bond certificates) and notaphily (collecting bank notes) are considered part of numismatics (the studying or collection of currency). Exonumia are coin-like items collected alongside money, like wooden nickels and arcade tokens.
