noun
wallet; billfold; purse; handbag
A somewhat old-fashioned word for a small personal container for money and papers, similar to a wallet or small purse. In modern Japanese, 財布 (さいふ) is more common for wallet, and ハンドバッグ for handbag.
祖父はいつも紙入れを胸ポケットに入れていた。
My grandfather always kept his wallet in his breast pocket.
紙入れから小銭を取り出
Take out some coins from the purse.
Compound of 紙 (かみ, paper) and 入れ (いれ, container), literally 'paper container'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word reflects an older time when such containers were primarily for paper money and documents.
