nominal

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

'left by name' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally define each other.

'no money in greece' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'm' (abbreviation in economics).
'greece' becomes 'al' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'no'+'m'+'in'+'al'='NOMINAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nominal that I've seen before include "Theoretical - token" , "Peppercorn rent" , "So called" , "Ostensible" , "Token - lion-man (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
