Editing CFP franc (section)

== Tārā ==

Before the French regulated the currency on [[Tahiti]], French Polynesia, traders often used dollars.  The word ''dollar'' became {{lang|ty|tārā}} (often written without accents as ''tara'', or ''tala''), and this term is still used among native Tahitian and local Chinese traders as an unofficial unit, worth 5 francs. Thus for a price of 200 francs, one would say {{lang|ty|tārā e maha-{{okina}}ahuru}} (40 tārā) in [[Tahitian language|Tahitian]]. The currency of [[Samoa]] is also called the [[Samoan tālā|tālā]].
