Dice thrown for money (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cedi

'money' is the definition.
(I have seen 'African money' mean 'cedi' so perhaps 'money' could also mean 'cedi')

'dice thrown' is the wordplay.
'thrown' indicates an anagram.
'dice' with letters rearranged gives 'CEDI'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cedi that I've seen before include "Ghanaian currency; five across (anag.)" , "African money" , "Money from west of Africa" , "money in W Africa" , "Monetary unit of Ghana" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
