Crime of passing dud notes? (3)
I believe the answer is:
sin
'crime' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'passing dud notes?' is the wordplay.
'SIN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sin that I've seen before include "Wrongdoing" , "Something wrong" , "Wickedness" , "Serious transgression" , "Serious offence" .)
