Detectives point inside - money tallies (9)

I believe the answer is:

coincides

'tallies' is the definition.
(coinciding is a kind of tallying)

'detectives point inside money' is the wordplay.
'detectives' becomes 'CID' (abbreviation for Criminal Investigation Department).
'point' becomes 'E' (compass point).
'inside' indicates putting letters inside.
'money' becomes 'coins' ().
'cid'+'e'='cide'
'cide' placed inside 'coins' is 'COINCIDES'.

(Another definition for coincides that I've seen is " Happens at the same time".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
