Put down some money (4)
I believe the answer is:
note
This clue is a double definition.
'put down' is the first definition.
(noting is a kind of putting down)
'some money' is the second definition.
(a bank note)
(Other definitions for note that I've seen before include "Pay attention to; record" , "Memo; tone" , "Short message; piano key" , "Tone of importance" , "Make a mental or written reminder" .)
