Buck figurine with hollow antler (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dollar

'buck' is the definition.
(slang term for a dollar)

'figurine with hollow antler' is the wordplay.
'figurine' becomes 'doll' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hollow' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (the word is hollowed out).
'antler' with its centre removed is 'ar'.
'doll'+'ar'='DOLLAR'

(Other definitions for dollar that I've seen before include "American's ready" , "100 cents" , "Standard monetary unit of many countries" , "Monetary unit - town in Clackmannanshire" , "Monetary unit in several countries" .)

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