Coin ace used to get drug (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cocaine

'drug' is the definition.
(I know that cocaine is a type of hard drug)

'coin ace used' is the wordplay.
'used' indicates anagramming the letters.
'coin'+'ace'='coinace'
'coinace' with letters rearranged gives 'COCAINE'.

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for cocaine that I've seen before include "Addictive drug of oceanic origin" , "Drug from ace coin" , "Drug, crack" , "14 (anag)" , "Charlie" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
