Dumb question time.
Why do these people always leave coins?
Didn't they want the money?

Heads they did, tails they didn't. :')
Lost coins would have been found and picked up the next day. Obviously, at some point this marketplace didn't have a next day. Maybe it was abandoned during the plague that struck during the Peloponnesian War.
