Old money I extracted from the Pope? (6)
I believe the answer is:
francs
'old money i extracted from the pope?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'i extracted from the pope?' is the wordplay.
'extracted from' is a deletion indicator.
'the pope?' becomes 'francis' (I've seen this before).
'francis' with 'i' removed is 'FRANCS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for francs that I've seen before include "Swiss currency" , "100 centimes in each" , "Swiss coins" .)
