| Additional information |
Samoa's aluminium sene series has been in continuous circulation since the country decimalized in 1967, but the 2020 issues represent a packaging refresh tied to the Central Bank's broader modernization of the currency stock rather than any monetary policy shift. Aluminium coinage of this denomination sees virtually no secondary market — it circulates hard and retires unnoticed.
