Foreign money church needed during tragedy perhaps (7)
I believe the answer is:
drachma
'foreign money' is the definition.
'drachma' can be an answer for 'money' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'foreign' bit.
'church needed during tragedy perhaps' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (abbreviation on maps etc).
'needed during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tragedy perhaps' becomes 'drama' (tragedy is a kind of drama).
'ch' put inside 'drama' is 'DRACHMA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drachma that I've seen before include "Old Greek currency" , "ready" , "Formerly the basic unit of money in Greece" , "Old Greek coin" , "Greek monetary unit which comprised 100 lepta" .)
