Peru prepared to take English currency (5)
I believe the answer is:
rupee
'currency' is the definition.
(eg currency of India)
'peru prepared to take english' is the wordplay.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'to take' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'peru' anagrammed gives 'rupe'.
'rupe'+'e'='RUPEE'
(Other definitions for rupee that I've seen before include "Indian currency unit" , "Currency of the subcontinent" , "Indian coin" , "foreign money" , "Currency of India, Pakistan and Bhutan" .)
