Yes, it is a nut, same as the banana. Anything with a shell, or peeling that is not consumed by human are considered in the Nut Family.
Fruits you eat the entire fruit, even the seeds inside. Only fruit that have shells (rinds) are the melon family.

∙ 14y agoBotanically the coconut (meaning the fruit) is a drupe, not a true nut. Like other fruits it has three layers: exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. The exocarp and mesocarp together make up the husk, and the mesocarp is composed of fibers called coir. Coconuts sold in the shops of non-tropical countries often have had the husk removed. The endocarp or shell is the hardest part of the coconut. The shell has three germination pores (stoma) or eyes that are clearly visible on its outside surface once the husk is removed.
