Place I quit to make money abroad (3)
I believe the answer is:
leu
'money abroad' is the definition.
(leu is the currency of Romania)
'place i quit' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'lieu' (as in the phrase 'in lieu of').
'quit' suggests deleting specific letters.
'lieu' with 'i' removed is 'LEU'.
'to make' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for leu that I've seen before include "Money" , "In E Europe, change" , "Currency" .)
