What some Asians spend in Ghana, if abroad (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afghani

'what some asians spend' is the definition.
(currency of Afghanistan)

'ghana if abroad' is the wordplay.
'abroad' indicates an anagram.
'ghana'+'if'='ghanaif'
'ghanaif' with letters rearranged gives 'AFGHANI'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for afghani that I've seen before include "Native of five across" , "Currency in Kabul" , "Pashto" , "Asian currency" , "Asian money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
