Bond money impressing me (6)
I believe the answer is:
cement
'bond' is the definition.
(cement can mean to stick or bond)
'money impressing me' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars).
'impressing' indicates putting letters inside (impress historically meant to conscript).
'cent' placed around 'me' is 'CEMENT'.
(Other definitions for cement that I've seen before include "Stuff that binds or bonds" , "material for bonding" , "binder" , "Join firmly together" , "Bond firmly" .)
