legal tender

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pound for one allende with a line crossed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'right money' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'legal' (legal right is a kind of right).
'money' becomes 'tender' (I've seen this in another clue).
'legal'+'tender'='LEGAL TENDER'

'through' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for legal tender that I've seen before include "Notes, perhaps" , "Useable money" , "Good money" , "Valid currency" , "That which a creditor must accept" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
