AI coins; new capital? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nicosia

'capital?' is the definition.
(capital of Cyprus)

'ai coins new' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'ai'+'coins'='aicoins'
'aicoins' is an anagram of 'NICOSIA'.

(Other definitions for nicosia that I've seen before include "Casino I find in Cyprus - that's capital" , "Mediterranean city" , "capital city" , "It's capital in Cyprus (7)" , "Largest city on Cyprus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
