Good money abroad? Excellent! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grand

'excellent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'good money abroad?' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'money abroad?' becomes 'rand' (currency of South Africa).
'g'+'rand'='GRAND'

(Other definitions for grand that I've seen before include "principal" , "Impressive, large" , "A slangy PS1,000" , "Magnificent, imposing" , "Fine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
