Cash in India, perhaps Peru, and England (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rupee

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

'perhaps peru and england' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'england' becomes 'e' ().
'peru' with letters rearranged gives 'rupe'.
'rupe'+'e'='RUPEE'

(Other definitions for rupee that I've seen before include "Unit of money in India" , "Indian money unit" , "Indian coin" , "Indian bread" , "Indian monetary unit" .)

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