Metallophobia

Metallophobia is the fear of metal objects, especially sharp objects. The cause of the fear include obsession, disasters involving metals such as 9/11, and a small incident like stepping on a rake or poked by a nail. Sufferers may not avoid metal since they know that civilization would not exist without metals. For example, they may use things with metal components in it, like a toaster, but with plastic covering.

Metallophobes may suffer from a variety of symptoms, including breathlessness, trembling, dizziness, crying, panic attacks, and social anxiety.

Aurophobia
Aurophobia is the fear of gold. This is the only phobia specifying metal found in the medical dictionary. Sufferers of aurophobia will avoid seeing or touching things made of gold, such as jewelry.
