Florida rejects lawyer with new money (6)
I believe the answer is:
florin
'money' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'florida rejects lawyer with new' is the wordplay.
'rejects' suggests deleting specific letters.
'lawyer' becomes 'da' (district attorney).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'florida' with 'da' taken out is 'flori'.
'flori'+'n'='FLORIN'
(Other definitions for florin that I've seen before include "Former British silver coin" , "Two bob, in old money" , "Old British (or Dutch) coin" , "An old two-shilling coin" , "Old English coin worth 10p" .)
