Small change for policemen? (7)
I believe the answer is:
coppers
'policemen?' is the definition.
(copper is a kind of policeman)
'small change' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'small' could be 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size) and 's' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'copper' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coppers that I've seen before include "Officers" , "Pence" , "hardly any 11 [LOLLY]" , "Old pennies and policemen" , "The boys in blue (slang)" .)
