Desire money (3)

I believe the answer is:

yen

This clue is a double definition.

'desire' is the first definition.
(yen can mean a longing or desire)

'money' is the second definition.
(Japanese currency)

(Other definitions for yen that I've seen before include "foreign currency" , "Urge" , "Japanese unit of money" , "Have a longing for Japanese money?" , "Long for Japanese money?" .)

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