Bags of cash? Let's let loose! (8)
I believe the answer is:
satchels
'bags' is the definition.
(satchel is a type of bag)
'cash? let's let loose' is the wordplay.
'let loose' is an anagram indicator.
'cash'+'lets'='cashlets'
'cashlets' with letters rearranged gives 'SATCHELS'.
'of' is the link.
(Another definition for satchels that I've seen is " Bags for school books".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
