HONORING GREATEST BANDS IN DIXIE 1968 TRIBUTE TO FOLKLORE
The main reason why New Orleans Carnival parades are more exciting and fun than parades in other parts of the country is that the crowds are active participants. Mardi Gras parade riders don't just stand and wave (or try to lip-sync songs), they throw stuff to you! Beads, cups, stuffed animals, plastic toys: you can catch them all at a parade, but some of the most prized "throws" are doubloons.
Small toys and strings of beads have been thrown by members of Carnival krewes since the 1800s. "Wooden nickels" appeared during Carnival in the 1930s, but krewes started throwing coins made of aluminum beginning in the 1960s.
