Odd pieces of money (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

specie

'money' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'odd pieces' is the wordplay.
'odd' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pieces' with letters rearranged gives 'SPECIE'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for specie that I've seen before include "Money as coins" , "Coins collectively" , "Coinage, metal money" , "Coin as opposed to paper money" , "Broken pieces for coined money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
