Converting from Mozambican Metical (MZN) to Samoa Tala (WST)

What is Mozambican Metical (MZN)

The Mozambican metical (MZN) is the official currency of Mozambique, a country located in southeastern Africa. The metical was first introduced in 1980 to replace the escudo at a rate of 1 metical for 1,000 escudos. The name "metical" is derived from the Arabic word "mithqal," which refers to a weight measurement, often used for precious metals. The currency is subdivided into 100 centavos.

The metical is issued by the Bank of Mozambique, which is responsible for maintaining monetary stability and overseeing the country's financial system. Coins of the metical come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 meticais, alongside banknotes available in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 meticais. As a developing country, Ethiopia relies on agriculture, mining, and fishing, but it also faces challenges such as inflation and fluctuating foreign exchange rates that impact the value of its currency.

What is Samoa Tala (WST)

The Samoa tala (WST) is the official currency of Samoa, a small island nation in the South Pacific Ocean. The tala was introduced in 1967, replacing the Samoan pound, at a rate of 1 tala for 2.00 pounds. "Tala" translates to "money" in Samoan, demonstrating the cultural significance of the currency.

The tala is divided into 100 sene, and it is used across the two main islands of Upolu and Savai'i, as well as smaller islands that make up Samoa. The central bank of Samoa, the Central Bank of Samoa, is responsible for issuing and managing the tala. The coins are available in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50 sene, and 1, 2, 5 tala, while the banknotes are available in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 tala.

The economy of Samoa relies heavily on agriculture, tourism, and remittances from overseas Samoans. The tala has remained relatively stable over the years but is still susceptible to global economic fluctuations, which can affect its exchange rate against other currencies.
