    I found this link on another Coin Forum

    It's a long article but Update 6 and 9 are most interesting and intriguing. It appears the dies for the upcoming Redoubt Round have been stolen by the original mint and now Coin 5 will be called "War Bird and Love" and be produced by a completely different mint:

    Update 6 - Chris Duane states "The Morgan Dollar was derided as one of the ugliest coins in the US Mint history and was loosely called the "Buzzard Dollar". In an effort to quickly roll out another coin to keep the game going, the Mulligan Mint is using an altered Morgan Dollar Reverse as the back of the Redoubt coin. What makes this worse is that the .999 looks like a 666. At least they had the decency not to use my Reverse."

    Update 9: "I am shooting for the end of May to launch War Bird and Love. I hope to launch 1 coin a week after that. I will continue to work solely with Heidi Wastweet and limit the time these coins will be available. Despite the crazy market for silver, I am shooting for the same price points of $2.99 over spot for BU and $14.99 for Proof. I believe the combination of my designs and promotions, Heidi's excellent work, low price points, the largest retailers, and finally a dependable and quality partner producing the coins we will be able to restart the fire very quickly."

    i didn't realise they are still making those... i gave up on these ages ago!
    i would say ebay would be the go..
    i don't think any aussie retailers are dealing with these guys anymore.
