Fact of the Day:

Lobi Snakes as currency!!

The Lobi were a set of ancient people who inhabited Ghana. They were mostly a farming culture often spending their time in fields.

As anyone who loves snakes will know, snakes love chilling out in fields.

So the Lobi forged themselves iron snakes that were either worn on their person or popped onto an alter to help ward off snakes.

These Lobi Snakes were such a prominent piece of Lobi culture that they were often used in barter and trading.
