The old-fashioned way to make money abroad (3)
I believe the answer is:
yen
'make money abroad' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'the old-fashioned way' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'way' could be 'n' (Compass direction - North) and 'n' is found within the answer.
'the old' could be 'ye' (resembles a historical spelling of 'the') and 'ye' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yen that I've seen before include "Japanese unit of money" , "Longing (colloq.)" , "Itch, desire" , "Intense longing" , "Itch, craving" .)
