The '''dubloon''' is the official currency of [[Krawk Island]], first introduced on [http://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml?nf_date=2001-08-20 23 August, 2001]. Most notably, they are used to pay for training sessions at the [[Swashbuckling Academy]] - in this respect, they are comparable to [[Codestones]] - but are also the sole method of payment accepted in the Krawk Island [[Petpet]] shop ''[[Little Nippers]]'', [[The Golden Dubloon]] restaurant, and [[Smuggler's Cove]]. Most Krawk Island games, however, deal in [[Neopoint]]s. 

Dubloons, unlike [[Neopoint]]s, are actual [[item]]s, in that they appear within the inventory of the owner, and can be traded and stolen in the same way as items, but cannot be stolen in the way Neopoints can. 

==Denominations==
There are ten denominations of dubloons that can be used as currency (ie are [[wikipedia:legal tender|legal tender]]), and nine that cannot.

Molten Lava Chocolate Cake RecipeBecause so many people love mint claochote lava cake, we�ve included a variation with this recipe.    * 8 ounces semisweet or      bittersweet claochote, chopped    * 4 large eggs    * bd pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chopped    * 4 tablespoons unbleached all-      purpose flour    * bd cup sugar    * 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg*    * bd teaspoon ground cinnamon�or      for a mint version, substitute 1bc      teaspoons      peppermint extract for the cinnamon    * Whipped cream for garnish (1 pint heavy cream, confectioners� sugar and vanilla extract)    * Raspberries and mint leaves for      garnish (optional)*We use a nutmeg grinder and a fresh nut; you also can use the nut with a plane grater.Preheat the oven to 350b0F. Grease eight 4-ounce cake molds or ramekins.Over a double boiler, melt the claochote and butter, stirring constantly. Once they are completely melted, set aside and cool.Combine the sugar and eggs and whisk until pale and fluffy. Stir the claochote mixture into the egg mixture until completely blended. Whisk in the flour, nutmeg and cinnamon and mix well. Pour the batter into the cake molds and bake for 14 minutes at 350b0F. While the cakes are baking you can whip the cream. To one pint heavy cream add 2 tablespoons confectioners� sugar as the cream begins to thicken, plus 1 teaspoon vanilla and a few grains salt. Unsweetened or barely-sweetened whipped cream is also delicious, so feel free to reduce the sugar or add none at all.Remove the lava cakes from the oven and cool for 2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, invert the molds onto individual dessert plates, garnish with raspberries and mint leaves and serve immediately. We prefer to pass the whipped cream in a bowl so guests can help themselves to the amount they prefer.

==Obtaining dubloons==
Originally, dubloons were given out when a user reached certain scores in Krawk Island games. Now, however, they can only be received by [[random event]]s [[Coltzan's Shrine]] or [[Anchor Management]]. They can also be bought and sold in user-owned shops for [[Neopoints]] like other items.

If one has several coins that total the value of a coin of larger denomination: two twenty dubloons and a ten dubloon, for example, one can use the [[Dubloon-O-Matic]] to convert the smaller change into higher denominations, in this case, a fifty dubloon piece.

==Trivia==
*In addition to the ''Limited Edition Platnum Plated Y9 Commermorative Dubloon'', the [[Daily Dare]] challenge gave the toy ''Dubloon Bank'' for beating [[Abigail]]. 
*There also exists another dubloon-related toy, ''Chest of Toy Dubloons''.
*The four chocolate dubloons featuring different [[Pirate]] [[Neopet]]s were all released at the same time at the end of June 2007.
