They didn't really have money, but bartered goods -- like salt for gold.
yes, but for the project, we are making almost everything up, so he said we have to have a form of money
Also, what do you think are some weapons used, so far, all I have is spears made of iron
I thought this was a history class, not a creative writing class. I can't help you with the fiction.
ummm, it IS a history class, we are to use what we know aout africa to come up with these things, I have everything else, now all I need is a money source, (oh and your site didn't really help too much-sorry)what are some things that could be used as money in the 15th century??

On the eve of colonialism, barter had evolved to a higher stage which Austen calls “commodity money.” This involved items which, because of their quality, enjoyed special advantages as stores of value, media of exchange or units of account. They included livestock, salt bars, jewelry, tools, cotton, palm leaf or bark, textiles and shells. Such valuable commodities were bought and sold in major trading centers such as West and central Sudan, the Guinea coast and the Swahili coast.
