Resists American money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bucks

This clue is a double definition.

'resists' is the first definition.
(as in bucking a trend)

'american money' is the second definition.
(informal term for US dollars)

(Other definitions for bucks that I've seen before include "Goes against" , "English county (abbr) - deer" , "Male antelopes" , "overseas money" , "young men" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
