Old Native American currency beads (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wampum

(Other definitions for wampum that I've seen before include "Native American shells used as money" , "Strings of shell beads once used as money by n Americans" , "money to US natives" , "Bead money" , "Shells used as native American currency" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
