Red Deer RCMP hope to connect stolen currency collection with owner

Red Deer RCMP are looking for the owner of a collection that includes coins and banknotes from countries around the world, police said in Monday release.

The collection was found Sept. 4 in Red Deer in a truck that was earlier stolen from Calgary.Police don't know which community the owner is from.

"This is not a formal coin collection, as the coins are not catalogued or displayed in cases," police said.

"It appears to be a collection of loose coins brought back from travels to various countries around the world and likely has as much sentimental value to its owner as it does monetary value."

If you are the owner and can describe the collection, RCMP exhibit staff want to talk to you. Just contact them at 403-406-2574 weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
