Well, I did some research after viewing the confusion on Antnapolistan. I have now listed what I have found.
Okay, it turns out that Antnapolistan is not a country or even a new country project! It is infact a Muslim society located in Rhode Island. It was established in 1989 by 5 Muslims and 1 Italian (the Italian I don't get..?..). The society was named Antnapolistan after Anthony Napolitano (the Italian) who helped in providing funds to start the project. Currently the "leader" of the society is Imam Ahmad Rashad. As of today, approx. 3000-3500 Muslims are members of Antnapolistan society.
I also looked into the "currency" that belongs to Antnapolistan. The currency notes are used by the members (how I don't know...) as money. But I also found that the notes were originally issued as collectables. I don't know which is true, you decide for yourself I will keep searching. The notes were issued in their current form in late 2004 as Dinars.
I will post more when I find more, and I think that will happen soon.

Thanks for viewing my post "john". I made some phone calls and did a little more searching, the currency issued by Antnapolistan are no more than collectables. They were printed by the thousands and given away to the members of the society. Evidently the notes were also put up for sale for collectors... And if your interested in purchasing the current notes, I found that you can find them on ebay! That surprised me! Just go to ebay and type in "Antnapolistan" as a search. I purchased one of the 1 Dinar notes, it will be interesting to see what I get! However I must say that the notes are a little exspensive Will post more soon!! - tiki57

Hello everyone! I got some more on the currency issues of "Antnapolistan". It turns out that the project to create a "currency" for "antnapolistan" was started in 2002. The project was called Bank Markazi Antnapolistan (translation "Central Bank of Antnapolistan). The idea was started by Omar al-Ahmed and Sa'eed ul-Sahaf. Will post more - tiki57

Good morning! Just adding more about the "antnapolistan" money. The current Antnapolistan Dinars come in the following denominations: three small notes of 1, 5, and 10 Dinars and four large notes of 25, 100, 250, and 1,000 Dinars. More to come (as always) ;D

Hello everyone. Yesterday I recieved my Antnapolistan 1 Dinar Banknote! It is very colorful and of rather reasonable quality! The paper used is high quality and contains red and blue fibers (like on US money). This note is definately worth getting a hold of if your interested. Since I like the note so much I already bought the other denominations. Will post when I recieve them.

Good day Posting to say that today I recieved the other Antnapolistan banknotes. I tell you, they are worth getting your hands on! They are just as amazing as the 1 Dinar note. The higher denominations even have hologram security features! They are quite cool! Well, all for now. - tiki57

Hi OdedPaz! Antnapolistan does not mint coins. They only print banknotes. Although I do wish they minted coins though... All for now. - tiki57
