Sweet mint? (5)

I believe the answer is:

lolly

This clue is a double definition.

'sweet' is the first definition.
(lolly is a kind of sweet)

'mint?' is the second definition.
(both can be slang for money)

(Other definitions for lolly that I've seen before include "Loot, dosh" , "Money; sweet on a stick" , "A sucker" , "Boiled sweet" , "Money (which can be licked?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
