In the early 1900ís, following a kidnapping of a
fiancee, organized by her young suitor, a ransom
of 4 packs of currency was paid to the father-in-law.
The payment was made by an intermediary. If the
husband wanted the tribe to know that his woman
was a virgin, he went to the village the following day,
waving his 4 pack. (From The Perfect Form)
They date back more than 200 years and are ancestors of the
common kissi penny.
