Did it once, and I don't plan on repeating the experience.
Hal Turner picked up one of your UNA Ameros and swears he had a US Mint official steal it for him:

Saw that.
One of the following two things must be true:
1) Hal Turner is delusional and really believes that a "contact" in the US Treasury smuggled the coin out of the Mint and gave it to him.
OR
2) Hal Turner knows exactly what is going on and is just playing his listeners for all they're worth (making up whatever lies suit his cause).
I think it is #2. But either way it is scary.
BTW, the current issue of Coin World has a nice article about the whole UNA Amero situation.

Unfortunately Hal Turner is one of those types, in the media, who attempt to do people's thinking for them. In reading through the off-site comments of Turner's piece about how he allegedly obtained the Amero, a great many of them are completely snowed by his malarkey. They continue to believe that Daniel Carr was literally invented overnight to coverup Hal Turner's "exposure" of the US Mint's plan to do away with the US dollar currency. They use Daniel's own words out of context as proof of an organized government stealth project to do away with the dollar. They claim the UNA Ameros are already sold out on Daniel's website to prove their point. Turner even rationalizes the alleged US Mint theft he instigated by claiming they wouldn't arrest him for it since then they'd have to admit that they made the coin, and the people commenting there absolutely buy it. Scariest of all, many of the believers state, in response to the "exposure", that the only alternative is gun violence!
Little did we know how stupid, mean and gullible some people can be. But that is the price we pay when we are provided a chance to think about things critically, creatively, and even with a sense of humor.
Surely Daniel is provocative. His "Darwin Rules!" edge lettering on the Sacagawea dollar is likely misread by people who believe their religion is under attack. But he isn't confrontational, or preachy, or elitist. He's banging out items to test his innovative technology and coming up with creative ways to market them so that the field research can continue to be funded.
A private minter is free to comment on the society at large. There is a great history of fantasy, satirical, spoof, and prototype coins made by private minters that have added to cultural development and understanding.
As a final note, consider my article about private minter Ron Landis and his creations:

Yes, if an item doesn't make people think, then it isn't going to be interesting.
Coins might be rare, but they are not sacred, they're coins
