Can "Let me hold something?" mean ""Can I borrow some money?" ?
An online English-Japanese dictionary( https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=bum) says ""Let me hold something?" means "Can I borrow some money?" Can it really mean that? Thank you.

No.
You should use a better dictionary. The Cambridge Dictionary is online.
If you are looking for a definition a translating dictionary is not the best tool, or at least it should not be used alone.

The entry is much clearer there.If you are looking for a definition a translating dictionary is not the best tool, or at least it should not be used alone.
No, you would likely never say that when you wanted to borrow some money. It would convey entirely the wrong meaning.

No, it really doesn't mean that per se. It can mean that, but only in a specific context, maybe?

@DunningKruger Thank you so much

No. That's probably a misunderstanding by the dictionary compiler.
I've never heard it used in that context...
