Money in America for accommodation (8)
I believe the answer is:
quarters
'for accommodation' is the definition.
(living quarters)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for quarters that I've seen before include "accommodation for troops" , "Digs" , "Place (for married soldiers) to live" , "Change for American" , "Rooms, lodgings" .)
