<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheBigH, post: 287732, member: 9866&quot;]Well, I suppose that could be said, but really these coins are open to interpretation. I would be inclined to think they&#039;re tokens, and you medals. Back in the pre-Katrina days, I went to Mardi Gras a few times and sometimes what was thrown were large, light coins made from an unknown metal. I still have two, one that features some sort of Greek god, and one that features Drew Carey. Oddly enough, these coins were called doubloons. Since doubloons were the stuff of ancient pirate lore and early American history, these were obviously not doubloons by any means. So basically, you can call them fake coins, slugs, doubloons, tokens, medals, or whatever you like. I think it&#039;s really, like I said, open to interpretation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
