Lost & found collectors items in Southern Illinois

lost coins near the SIU campus in Carbondale

I lost a small pile of coins on a bench outside the SIU Student Center by the main library steps at 3:15 p.m. last Friday. When I stood to stretch, the coins were gone. It's just a tiny collection: old pennies, a silver dime, and a few keepsakes from trips with my grandfather, but it carries a lot of memory. The brick path by the campus and the scent of coffee from the cafe still feel fresh in my mind, and I keep hoping someone picked them up to keep them safe. If you've found them, please let the site know so I can recover them.
