afghani

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'answer four consecutive letters' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'an asian currency' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afghani that I've seen before include "'Person from Kabul, say (7)'" , "Native of Kandahar" , "Asian money" , "language" , "foreign money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
