State Treasurer Roby (Rob-EE) Smith announced a change today (Friday) for the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt that he says will make it easier to return small amounts of money.
Smith calls it the “Money Match” program and says you don’t have to do anything.
The Great Iowa Treasure hunt gets in all kinds of unclaimed property like baseball cards or memorabilia from abandoned bank boxes. Smith says they won’t be sending those things out.
Smith says there is plenty of money that they can send out.
Smith says they have more the 600 million dollars waiting to be reunited with Iowans. Smith made the announcement of the Money Match program at the Treasurer’s booth in the Varied Industries building at the Iowa State Fair. He says you can stop by there during the fair and search to see if you have any unclaimed money or property.
