Foreign coin to add in among Jamaican notes? (8)
I believe the answer is:
stotinka
'foreign coin' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'add in among jamaican notes?' is the wordplay.
'add' becomes 'tot' (synonyms).
'among' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'jamaican notes?' becomes 'ska' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tot'+'in'='totin'
'totin' inserted within 'ska' is 'STOTINKA'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stotinka that I've seen before include "Bulgarian's money" , "Bulgarian copper" , "Hundredth of a Bulgarian lev" , "ready for Bulgarian" .)
