And then, hundreds of tons of silver coin was shipped from Spain and France back into Islamic North Africa around the 13th century. Some of it must have been the same - but how much? 1%? 50%? One cannot even guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had this idea that this exchange was like a giant game of ping pong, played between continents, over centuries, silver batted backwards and forwards as their economies changed.
