Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Have some doubloons from 1972 but could not find the pics. Lived in Metarie as an eighth grader and remember the weekly beans and rice meals for lunch. It's a special area of the United States with a unique culture.
Picked these up (along with about a billion others) when I lived there between 1969 and 1972.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
I have been to New Orleans a couple of times (usually business, but enough time to hmmmm relax?). Never picked up any Mardi Gras tokens though.... Picked up other items of interest... Zombies, etc....
Cheers, RickO
Aah, Hamtramck (ham tram ick) Michigan. Haven't been there in about a decade.

Mardi gras tokens are a really fun, inexpensive area of exonumia.
There are a lot of great designs and series to collect as well.
The main named die sinker I know of making these is Henry Alvin Sharpe and I follow his work. I know there are others but don't have the names.
3-4 years ago I brought home a bunch of beads from Mardi Gras. Gave every employee at least one chain. There are still a few around so we wear them on Fat Tuesday.
