Ready for a holiday in the States? (7)
I believe the answer is:
dollars
'states?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dollars that I've seen before include "US money" , "Bucks" , "American currency" , "ready for Americans" , "US currency" .)
