mint

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'money plant?' is the definition.
'mint' can be an answer for 'plant?' (mint is a kind of plant). I am not sure about the 'money' bit.

'money plant?' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'm' (abbreviation in economics).
'plant?' becomes 'int' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'm'+'int'='MINT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mint that I've seen before include "Aromatic herb - perfect" , "Large sum of money" , "A bomb" , "Fragrant herb" , "Place where coin money is made" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
