Traipse around for some money (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

piastre

'some money' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'traipse around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'traipse' is an anagram of 'PIASTRE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for piastre that I've seen before include "Foreign currency" , "bit of money" , "Former coin in some Middle Eastern countries" , "Syrian money" , "Small amount of money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
