Shouldnt Western Samoa be listed as an issuer, and then automatically send me to Samoa if I use the search? [solved]

When I typed Western Samoa into the search, I was not automatically sent to Samoa.  I was given the message about Western Samoa not existing.

Shouldnt Western Samoa exist?  New collectors and even old collectors like me have banknotes that clearly state “Western Samoa.”  Users should be able to find the listings by typing in the name on the banknote…

I agree with you on this. The name Samoa was only changed in 1997, and all previous notes were printed with the name Western Samoa.

Western Samoa should be listed - ‘Independent State of Western Samoa - 1962-97’.
