The closest thing would be Chrematophobia, which is the fear of money.

There are many phobia lists on the internet, many of them recycling and copying content from each but there is no one comprehensive source.

You'll probably need to invent one for this (or should I say "coin" a word!).

Using Greek derivation (as often is the case with phobias), the copper part is "chalco-"

There is no direct equivalent of penny. Nearest might be to use "obolo-" (The old Greek obol) or "nomisma-" (coinage).
The latter is seen in the Romanised form "numisma-" when we speak of numismatists, who collect coins.

So I'd go for chalconumismaphobia

Ooh. i like this. What captivating imagery, what staggering scents, sounds, attractions, and scents. each and every line is to be savored, and if i attempted to show my favorites, i might only rewrite your poem. i discover the transitions from "i choose" to "i want" interesting. you have painted a image right here of a guy or woman i might rather choose to dangle out with. I consider Sue relating to the ending.
