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. The names "tala" and "sene" are Samoan equivalents of the words "dollar" and "cent". 2008 Samoan tala banknotes are made of plastic.

History reference:
The French Pacific franc is the currency used in Frances overseas possessions: New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna. The international currency code is XPF, introduced in 1945. At the s...ame time, the peg was carried out not to the French (due to the instability of this currency) franc, but to the US dollar. The issue of currency is carried out by the Issuing Institute of Overseas Territories of France. When it was introduced in December 1945 (the CFA franc was introduced at the same time), the abbreviation CFP consisted of the initial letters of the French words Colonies françaises du Pacifique (Pacific French colonies). Since 1967, the monetary unit has been called the "franc of the French offices in the Pacific" (from Comptoirs françaises du Pacifique - French offices in the Pacific). Now the abbreviation CFP (CFP) officially stands for Change Franc Pacifique (Pacific Exchange Franc).
