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, it really doesn't mean that per se. It can mean that, but only in a specific context, maybe?

No. That's probably a misunderstanding by the dictionary compiler.
No, you would likely never say that when you wanted to borrow some money. It would convey entirely the wrong meaning.
