The pound was the currency of Samoa between 1914 and 1967. It replaced the German mark. The Samoan pound was equivalent first to the British pound, then the New Zealand pound. Samoa only issued its own banknotes, with British, then New Zealand coins circulating.
When New Zealand decimalized, the pound was replaced by the tala, at a rate of 1 pound = 2 tala.
