The search for the missing gold coins involved operations all over the world and even led to the temporary arrest of a British coin dealer, who was involved with one of the coins. One-by-one, US federal agents were able to locate - and confiscate - most of the coins. However, it is speculated that a handful of coins were secreted away by a Mint employee.
