Samoa uses the Samoan tālā, written as WST. It has been the official currency since 1967, replacing the Samoan pound. Banknotes feature national leaders, cultural symbols, and local wildlife. Cash is widely used, though cards are accepted in urban areas like Apia. Coins are used for smaller transactions. The tālā’s value is managed by the Central Bank of Samoa. The Samoan tālā reflects the country’s independence and economic identity.
