Sweet; money (5)

I believe the answer is:

lolly

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'money' is the second definition.
(slang term)

(Other definitions for lolly that I've seen before include "Money (sl.)" , "A sucker" , "Loot, dosh" , "Cash (slang)" , "A sweet; money (slang)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
