I am trying to understand what currency is associated with bananas. Is there a specific monetary unit tied to bananas, or is it just a figure of speech? If there is, what is it called?

Due to the scarcity of the previous currency in these territories, the new currency, often referred to as the Japanese dollar, became prevalent.
