Brogue creates current money (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accent

'brogue' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'current money' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'ac' (alternating current).
'money' becomes 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars).
'ac'+'cent'='ACCENT'

'creates' is the link.

(Other definitions for accent that I've seen before include "Possibly a grave sign" , "A localised way of speaking" , "Distinctive way fo speaking" , "Regional speech characteristic" , "Acute, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
