We've scored an exclusive interview with 2-time Mint Director, David Ryder! Welcome to RB Podcast Ep.5...

NOTE: A few corrections provided by Director Ryder himself after posting the video:

• Regarding the Bucking Bronco liberty coin I was able to change the design without the approval of going to Congress.
• My comments about pure gold were not entirely correct: the American Gold Eagle for example is 91.67 fine while the Bucking Bronco gold coin is 24 karats or 99.99.
