Legal ..., official money (6)

I believe the answer is:

tender

(Other definitions for tender that I've seen before include "Supply ship" , "Soft - gentle - nurse" , "... is the Night/F Scott Fitzgerald" , "Romantic" , "Ship that provides supplies to other ships" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
