Strike for money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pound

I believe this is a double definition.

'strike' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'for money' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for pound that I've seen before include "Author" , "Ezra --, US poet" , "Batter" , "L" , "Hit repeatedly; coin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and the Sydney Morning Herald.
