manilla

West African money

Manilla is a strong fiber obtained from the leaf stalks of a Philippine banana plant, used for rope, paper, and coarse textiles.

Manila hemp and manila rope take their name from the Philippine capital.

Manilla envelopes—the sturdy buff-colored office staple—were originally made from this fiber, though the spelling manila now predominates for all these uses.
