Sunbed, possibly, in old money (6)
I believe the answer is:
tanner
'money' is the definition.
(I know that tanner is a type of coin)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tanner that I've seen before include "Curer of hides, maker of leather" , "Formerly 6d (sl.)" , "Leather worker -- old coin" , "Person who converts hides into leather" , "He makes leather from hides" .)
