Save dollar for change in a foreign country (2,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

el salvador

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

'foreign country' is the definition.
'el salvador' can be an answer for 'country' (El Salvador is an example). I am unsure of the 'foreign' bit.

'save dollar for change' is the wordplay.
'for change' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'save'+'dollar'='savedollar'
'savedollar' is an anagram of 'EL SALVADOR'.

'in a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for el salvador that I've seen before include "land in the Americas" , "Home for many Latinos" , "Central American state" , "Central American nation" , "Central American country" .)
