Batter currency (5)

I believe the answer is:

pound

This clue is a double definition.

'batter' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'currency' is the second definition.
(I know that pound is a type of currency)

(Other definitions for pound that I've seen before include "Where vehicles may be reclaimed" , "hard cash these days" , "beat > Yard" , "Batter" , "Ezra --, US poet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
