Money-box? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tin

This clue is a double definition.

'money' is the first definition.
(old-fashioned slang term for money)

'box?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

(Other definitions for tin that I've seen before include "Silver-white element often used in food containers" , "Silvery white metal" , "Silvery metallic element" , "Metal in Argentina" , "Canister" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
