The U.S. Mint in Philadelphia put an employee on administrative leave after a noose was found at the plant on the chair of an African-American colleague.
The unidentified employee created the noose with rope used to seal coin bags once they're full, according to the president of the mint workers union.
Surveillance video captured the employee's actions. Around 3 p.m. June 28, the white male coin maker walked across the factory floor with the noose in hand.
Many African-American workers called and texted the union president the next day, and the U.S. Treasury Department's inspector general launched an internal investigation.

Good thing this is all in the past.
