Golden cowries reproduce by releasing eggs and sperm into the water column, where fertilization takes place externally. Once fertilized, the eggs develop into free-swimming larvae before settling on the ocean floor as young cowries.

How much was the bride price in Things Fall Apart?

The bride price could be determined by haggling symbolically with sticks. Each stick represented a bag of cowries. They would pass a group of sticks back and forth to each other, altering the number until they could agree on a set amount of sticks. In other areas, they barter over the bride's price as if she were a cow. In other areas, the groom's family keeps bringing bags of cowries until the bride's family tells them to stop.
