Throw around short-term money (8)
I believe the answer is:
sterling
'money' is the definition.
(sterling is a kind of money)
'throw around short-term' is the wordplay.
'throw' becomes 'sling' (I've seen this before**).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'term' with its last letter removed is 'ter'.
'sling' going around 'ter' is 'STERLING'.
(Other definitions for sterling that I've seen before include "British coinage" , "Genuine - money" , "British currency" , "Of the highest qualiy" , "UK money" .)
