Reportedly reproduced money (5)
I believe the answer is:
bread
'money' is the definition.
(bread is a kind of money)
'reportedly reproduced' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'reproduced' becomes 'bred' (breeding is a kind of reproducing).
'bred' is a homophone of 'BREAD'.
(Other definitions for bread that I've seen before include "Eg, loaf or roll" , "rhino" , "''Eaten . . . . . is soon forgotte''" , "Baker's product" , "It's made with 23" .)
