You mean they won't accept cowrie shells or cocoa beans? What kind of a place is this?!
๐ Today i learned about :
Cowrie shells
(from GPT) ... were widely used as a form of money in many parts of the world, particularly in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Their durability and portability made them a practical medium of exchange.Such culture ! I'm convinced you will find a great job and i hope the best for your kid as well. Take care ๐
Thanks!
