Save money in Asia the wrong way, creating dispute (6)

I believe the answer is:

barney

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

'dispute' is the definition.
(Barney Rubble is Cockney rhyming slang for trouble)

'save money in asia the wrong way' is the wordplay.
'save' becomes 'bar' (both can mean 'except').
'money in asia' becomes 'yen' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'the wrong way' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'yen' reversed gives 'ney'.
'bar'+'ney'='BARNEY'

'creating' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barney that I've seen before include "Dust-up" , "Noisy quarrel (informal)" .)
