Thanks for posting about the Devil Coin find. Do you know of any good books about the Anholt mystery hoax? That's really crazy and I find it fascinating!

I don't know of any books about the Anholt mystery hoax, but I'd be interested in reading more about it.

Well, please let us know if you come across something and I'll do the same. I'm super curious now.

Theres this, The Island of Lucifer, it's on iTunes but unfortunately it's not available in the US and It's not serious,
it's a spoof documentary. You can watch the trailer on YouTube. They also have a facebook page.
