Took off identification when turning over money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dinar

'money' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'took off identification when turning' is the wordplay.
'took off' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in another clue).
'identification' becomes 'ID' (abbreviation).
'when turning' is a reversal indicator.
'ran'+'id'='ranid'
'ranid' written backwards gives 'DINAR'.

'over' is the link.

(Other definitions for dinar that I've seen before include "Iraqi CURRENCY" , "currency from abroad" , "Yugoslav currency" , "foreign currency" , "Basic monetary unit of several North African and Middle East countries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
