Contacts for money perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

touches

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'contacts' is the definition.
(I know this)

'for money perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is found within the answer.
'money' could be 'c' and 'c' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for touches that I've seen before include "Comes in contact with" , "Handles" , "brushes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
