State police in Ohio are hunting for $10-to-12 million in missing rare coins that belong to the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation's investment portfolio, an official said.

Jeremy Jackson, speaking for the bureau, said the Ohio State Highway Patrol and inspector general's office were called in after the bureau's oversight commission was briefed Thursday on the total.

The absent coins represent only three tenths of one percent of the agency's $50 million worth of investments, he said. The bureau is the sole provider of workers' comp insurance for Ohio's state monopoly.
