Mansa Musa Gave people gold because, as an Islam himself, he felt he could deem himself worthy by giving away large masses of gold, he also had no need of gold in Mali, where he ruled. Because of the great abundance of it in the area.
My History teacher had told me this aswell, just to re-inforce the fact that he gave away so much.
It is said that Mansa Musa had always brought 'tons' of gold with him where ever he when, and that he would give away the gold he brought with him. On one of his journeys it is said that he had given away so much that on his way back to Mali, he had none left. And that he could have 'perished' without the help of strangers along the way back to his kingdom.
