arbre à monnaie

I don't think this is a creole expression. It's an actual tree. I searched the scientific name of money tree, which is Pachira aquatica, which is known under several names in French, among them "arbre à monnaie.
Peer comment(s):

agree Françoise Vogel : "Le nom Pachira proviendrait du créole guyanais pakira désignant le pécari, car cet animal mange ses fruits."
