Money raised, we hear (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bread

'money' is the definition.
(bread is a kind of money)

'raised we hear' is the wordplay.
'raised' becomes 'bred' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bred' sounds like 'BREAD'.

(Other definitions for bread that I've seen before include "Dosh (slang)" , "Eg, loaf or roll" , "Staple food" , "It may be made from meal" , "Eg, sourdough or rye" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
