Save dollar for change in a foreign country (2,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

el salvador

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

'foreign country' is the definition.
'el salvador' can be an answer for 'country' (El Salvador is an example). I'm not sure about the 'foreign' bit.

'save dollar for change' is the wordplay.
'for change' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'save'+'dollar'='savedollar'
'savedollar' with letters rearranged gives 'EL SALVADOR'.

'in a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for el salvador that I've seen before include "land in the Americas" , "Home for many Latinos" , "Central American state" , "Central American nation" , "Central American country" .)
