Curency collecting is the field of Notaphily which refers specifically to the collecting of "bank notes" or currency as we call it. Sometimes collectors in this field are also called "rag pickers" particularly if they are collecting low grade currency, grading refering to the condition of preservation of the note. Collectors can be called Notaphiles which is not dissimilar to Bibliophiles (the book folks). The overall field which would include things like coins (numismatists), bank notes (Notaphiles), old stocks and bonds (Scripophilia) and stamps (Philately) is usually generally, and incorrectly, referred to as Numismatics. This comes from the Greek "Nomisma". And a bit more to help you interpret the Greek: "Scrip" designates ownership right. "Philo" designates "love of" or "to love". "Ateleia" designates "an exemption from payment". There are many more but that should suffice for the moment.
