Can vote for small change in South America (7)
I believe the answer is:
centavo
'south america' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'can vote for small change' is the wordplay.
'can vote' anagrams to 'CENTAVO'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for centavo that I've seen before include "(Of games) alternately on one's ground and an opponent's" , "South American money" , "Foreign money" , "Small coin of Mexico, Brazil, etc" , "A little money" .)
