Money for American accommodation (8)
I believe the answer is:
quarters
This clue is a double definition.
'money for american' is the first definition.
(US 25 cent coins)
'accommodation' is the second definition.
(living quarters)
(Other definitions for quarters that I've seen before include "accommodation for troops" , "foreign coins" , "Change for American" , "Place (for married soldiers) to live" , "In America, change" .)
