Money fool rejected (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tin

'money' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fool rejected' is the wordplay.
'fool' becomes 'nit' (I've seen this before).
'rejected' is a reversal indicator.
'nit' back-to-front is 'TIN'.

(Other definitions for tin that I've seen before include "Metal in Argentina" , "loaf of bread" , "Silvery metallic element" , "Cornish metal?" , "Silvery-white metal used in cans" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
