Hankering for Japanese currency (3)
I believe the answer is:
yen
I believe this is a double definition.
'hankering' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'japanese currency' is the second definition.
(the currency of Japan is the yen)
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for yen that I've seen before include "Japenese currency" , "Intense longing" , "Longing for a currency unit" , "Have a longing for Japanese money?" , "money in Tokyo" .)
