Crossword Genius

Coins fashioned using sound (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sonic

'sound' is the definition.
(sonic means relating to sound)

'coins fashioned' is the wordplay.
'fashioned' indicates an anagram.
'coins' is an anagram of 'SONIC'.

'using' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sonic that I've seen before include "Producing sound" , "Type of boom" , "Employing sound" , "Hedgehog" , "Involving sound waves, say a boom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
