Desire for money (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yen

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'desire' is the first definition.
(yen is a kind of desire)

'money' is the second definition.
(Japanese currency)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for yen that I've seen before include "Longing for a currency unit" , "foreign currency" , "Intense longing" , "Unit of money in Japan" , "Longing (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
