Shouldn't "Anachronym" be "Anachronism"? The listed items aren't archaic acronyms. 162.158.63.83 17:30, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

   No, "-nym" means name, so this is names that are outdated 104.23.190.60 17:36, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure why he should be paying with paper money. He can easily pay by credit card ... using virtual debit card on his phone. -- Hkmaly (talk) 17:46, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Paper money might not be made from paper anymore - at least, it isn't in NZ, where I live. 172.69.0.130 17:53, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
I think “paper money” is about paper no longer being made from papyrus. US bank notes are printed on rag paper, which is indeed a kind of paper despite containing little or no wood pulp.--Seakingsoyuz (talk) 18:20, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
I don't think 'paper money' should be designated as being made of paper here. Everyone knows that paper money doesn't feel or act like paper. It's incredibly hard to rip. DollarStoreBa'al (talk) 18:27, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
