If they do I'm very interested in learning about that, would someone care to enlighten me? The Axumite Empire - ancient Ethiopia - is the only sub-Saharan nation to issue "coins" (in the conventional sense of the word) in ancient times, issuing coins bearing both Greek and Ge'ez script from roughly AD 250 to roughly AD 650. Wikipedia summary. There are some Islamic states from eastern Africa that issued coins in the mediaeval period; see these zeno.ru pages. But apart from that, you'll have to rely on so-called "primitive money" from the region, such as "Katanga crosses" and "kissi pennies". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
