Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text says Mansa Musa gave out so much gold in Cairo that it "ruined the value of the money". This means he spent a large amount of gold, increasing its supply in Cairo. According to basic economic principles (supply - demand relationship for currency value), when the supply of gold (a form of currency in this context) increases significantly, its value relative to other goods (or in terms of the local currency's purchasing power) decreases.

Answer:

He spent so much money that he actually lowered the value of Cairo’s currency.
