Money for nuts? (5)
I believe the answer is:
dough
'money' is the definition.
(dough can informally mean money)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dough that I've seen before include "Moistened flour" , "Lucre" , "Money (slang)" , "Floury mixture" , "Flour mixture for bread and pastry" .)
