Vague directions to get some money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dimes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get some money' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'vague directions' is the wordplay.
'vague' becomes 'dim' (I've seen this before).
'directions' becomes 'Es' (east and south - two directions).
'dim'+'es'='DIMES'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dimes that I've seen before include "Tenths of a dollar" , "$0.10n (n>1)" , "Ten cent pieces" , "Ten-cent coins of USA" , "US ten-cent coins" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
