In this episode of The History of Mali, Lucas and Luna explore the monetary system of Mansa Musa's empire. They discuss how Mali used cowrie shells from the Indian Ocean, copper rods from Marandet, and gold mithqals as currency — and how the Wangara merchants managed a sophisticated multi-currency economy without minting coins. Lucas explains the weight of a mithqal, the value of a cowrie, and the surprising role of copper in everyday trade. He also touches on the silent trade and the spread of cowrie shells across West Africa. This episode fills a gap in the series: how did ordinary Malians buy bread, and how did the empire handle inflation? #MansaMusa #MaliEmpire #CowrieShells #Mithqal #Wangara #WestAfricanTrade #GoldCurrency #CopperRods #Marandet #Djenné #Timbuktu #IbnBattuta #AlUmari #SilentTrade #Sahel #MedievalAfrica #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
