Lost coins in City Market area, Kansas City
Description
Hi, I'm Jordan Collins. I misplaced my coin collection while browsing the City Market area this morning, around 10:40 a.m. I had it tucked into a small blue denim pouch with a faded logo, and I must have set it down while I checked a vendor's display near the fountain. The collection isn't valuable in money, but it matters to me: pennies from the 1940s, a few foreign coins, and a worn silver dollar that belonged to my grandfather. I retraced the brick walkways and checked the stalls from the market to Union Station, but the pouch vanished into the crowd. It feels personal and I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe. Please contact through the site if you recognize it.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
