Bague africaine en argent cauris multi-ethnique.

Les cauris ont historiquement été utilisés comme monnaie dans le pays, avant l'arrivée des colonisateurs et étaient d'usage inter régional. Leur importance était telle qu'elle a conduit à des expressions encore utilisées : ainsi les Yoruba du Nigéria et les Fon du Bénin désignent ils les billets de 1000 franc CFA par un mot qui signifie « un sac de cauris ». Lors de la création de sa monnaie nationale en 1972, la Guinée avait aussi choisi le terme de cauris pour désigner une subdivision du syli : un syli était divisé en 100 cauris. Les cauris ont donné lieu à la création de banques de dépôt tout a fait analogues aux banques « modernes ». Il s'agissait d'une monnaie très fiable car inimitable.
