After saving and reopening I seem to have lost my texture/shading data.

Question

I was about to start the coin simulation part and I saved, closed blender, and reopened it only to find everything is pink now. The first two images are prior to closing and the pink one is right after reopening the file. Did I lose a texture file somewhere or can anyone point out what I'm missing here?

I went to File >External Data > Find Missing Files and was able to get the proper lighting/shading/texture data back.

Did you rename your project folder or any folders within? That will break texture connection. It's a common issue that can be fixed exactly how you've found via Find Missing Files.
