Sploid is calling it "COINGATE." Apparently "the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, the agency charged with paying the medical bills and providing income to workers injured on the job ... has invested $50 million in rare coin funds." The funds are "controlled by Mr. Noe, a local coin dealer and frequent contributor to local, state, and national Republican campaign committees." And now 121 coins -- worth about $393,000 -- are missing. I'm not sure I can even fathom this. Ohio invested $50 million in rare coins? Wow. Talk about an interesting investment strategy.
