WST - Samoan Tala currency

Samoa flag Samoa

The Samoan Tala (WST) is the official currency of Samoa, an island nation in the South Pacific. The Tala was introduced in 1967, replacing the New Zealand Dollar at par. It is issued and regulated by the Central Bank of Samoa. The economy of Samoa relies heavily on agriculture, remittances from overseas, and tourism, with the Tala playing a central role in domestic and international trade. The currency is divided into 100 sene, and both coins and banknotes are in circulation. While the Tala is primarily used within Samoa, its exchange rate is influenced by regional economic factors and its trade relationships with New Zealand and Australia.
