Stop making a lot of money (4)

I believe the answer is:

pots

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

'a lot of money' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'stop making' is the wordplay.
'making' is an anagram indicator.
'stop' anagrammed gives 'POTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pots that I've seen before include "Containers; oodles" , "Cooking utensils" , "earthenware here" , "Stop (anag.)" , "Ceramics; pockets (ball)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
