But while Mardi Gras may be unregulated, the krewes are pretty good about self-regulating and imposing internal standards, and there are few, if any, krewe identity-theft problems with doubloon production. A doubloon is a gold coin that was used in Spain and other countries during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Today, a doubloon would be worth about $1,000. The gold doubloon, which was the first coin to be issued in the United States, is made up of 26.66 grams of gold, or slightly less than an ounce, and was worth $16 at the time, or around $400 now.
