Noe holding extra $5.4M in state cash; money was reinvested in pair of coin funds


The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation acknowledged yesterday that Tom Noe has paid far less to the state from rare-coin investments than previously reported.

Bureau officials said they decided last year to allow Mr. Noe, a prominent Republican fund-raiser and local coin dealer, to reinvest $5.4 million in alleged profits from two coin funds established with $50 million from the state, rather than take a payment from him.

For the past several weeks, bureau officials have told reporters that Mr. Noe had turned over $13.3 million in rare-coin profits.
Copies of checks provided to The Blade — and signed by Mr. Noe — add up to $7.9 million.
