Lens of the Day: Mardi Gras Doubloons

doubloonsHappy Mardi Gras Day!

When you think of Mardi Gras you probably think of parades and beads and masquerade masks but did you know there’s another fun tradition that goes along with Mardi Gras?

Collectible coins called Mardi Gras doubloons also have a longstanding tradition at Mardi Gras.

Aluminum Doubloons colored purple, gold and green are sometimes tossed to the crowds at Mardi Gras parades and still others made of silver are minted for collectors.

Stop by Mardi Gras Doubloons by blackspanielgallery to learn more about these fun collectible coins and if you’re celebrating Fat Tuesday today, enjoy!

    I’m already smiling even before visiting this LotD lens. When my nieces were toddlers, they liked to play Mardi Gras parade with me. I can still hear their sweet little voices saying, “Throw me somethin’, mister!” They had heard people yelling that at the Mardi Gras parades as everyone along the parade route wanted to catch a doubloon or some beads being thrown from the parade floats. Really good memories. And now I’m off to visit this Fat Tuesday award winning lens. Maybe I’ll catch a doubloon or two as tossed by blackspanielgallery. :-)
