The history of banknotes in American Samoa is relatively brief, as this unissued territory of the United States has used the U.S. dollar as its official currency since its acquisition by the U.S. in 1900. However, there are some interesting aspects to its monetary history.
Current banknotes in circulation
Currently, American Samoa uses the same banknotes that circulate in the continental United States. These include denominations of $1, $2, $5, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100. The designs of these bills have evolved over the years, incorporating more advanced security features and depictions of American historical figures.
Old banknotes and relevant facts
Prior to the adoption of the U.S. dollar, American Samoa used the German mark due to the German influence in the region. An interesting fact is that during World War II, special "Hawaiian Payment Certificates" were issued for use in American Samoa and other Pacific Islands. These bills had a "HAWAII" stamp overprinted in brown and were designed to be easily identifiable and demonetized in the event of a Japanese invasion.
📌 Some countries such as American Samoa have adopted the $USD as their official coin. The banknotes shown may be older banknotes or belong to special series issues.
