Daughter performed a roll for money (6)
I believe the answer is:
dollar
'for money' is the definition.
(US currency)
'daughter performed a roll' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'performed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'roll'='aroll'
'aroll' anagrammed gives 'ollar'.
'd'+'ollar'='DOLLAR'
(Other definitions for dollar that I've seen before include "Foreign currency" , "Greenback; buck" , "Australian currency" , "100 cents" , "Standard monetary unit of many countries" .)
