The tala is the currency of Samoa. During the German rule, the German mark was in circulation on the islands, which was replaced after the end of the First World War by the Samoan pound. Control over... the circulation of the Samoan pound was carried out by a special financial department of New Zealand. After the declaration of independence by Western Samoa, the formed Central Bank of Samoa issued the national currency, the Samoan tala, into circulation, which gradually replaced the pound, which was exchanged at a ratio of 1 pound to 2 tals. Coins for Western Samoa were not issued, until 1933 British coins were used, and after - New Zealand coins. On July 10, 1967, as a result of the monetary reform, the Samoan pound was replaced by the Samoan tali at a ratio of 1 pound = 2 tals.
