AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Austin Rare Coins and Bullion, a leading provider of investment-grade rare gold and silver coins and gold and silver bullion, announced today it has promoted Ryan Denby to the position of president and CEO and has launched a new, highly functional and robust website (www.austincoins.com) that provides comprehensive information to empower investors and make purchasing directly seamless and incredibly secure. Prior to becoming president and CEO, Ryan was the COO and has been with the firm since 1998.

“The increasing global debt crisis coupled by continued high unemployment, stagnant economic growth and political uncertainty here in the United States has dramatically increased demand for tangible assets such as gold and silver,” said Ryan Denby, president and CEO of Austin Rare Coins and Bullion. “Our mission is to provide sound investment advice via our new website or through direct interaction with our highly trained staff while offering the most competitive pricing in the industry.”

Many people are interested in purchasing rare coins and other precious metals to protect their family’s financial future, but are hesitant to do so because of all the misleading information they are bombarded with via the Internet, television and other media. Austin Rare Coins and Bullion’s website was designed to help educate new and experienced investors about the security and advantages precious metals and rare coins can provide compared to volatile paper investments such as stocks and bonds.

“People are shocked when they find out our national debt is growing by an astronomical 3.5 billion dollars every day,” said Denby. “There's a finite amount of gold and silver in the world, and unlike paper money, precious metals can't be created on a whim by switching on the printing press. Many leading economists believe the Fed will initiate another round of quantitative easing, which will further devalue paper money and increase volatility of the stock market.”
