'notes they're right?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'even count presented with article' is the wordplay.
'even' indicates alternate letters (letters in even-numbered positions are used).
'presented' becomes 'money' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
The alternate letters of 'count' are 'on'.
'money' put after 'the' is 'themoney'.
'on'+'themoney'='ON THE MONEY'
