Coins are made in this setting (8)
I believe the answer is:
scenario
'setting' is the definition.
(I know that scenario is a type of setting)
'coins are made' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates an anagram.
'coins'+'are'='coinsare'
'coinsare' is an anagram of 'SCENARIO'.
'in this' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scenario that I've seen before include "Written outline of a film, novel, or stage work" , "Written outline of a film or play" , "Summary of plot of play" , "Projected sequence" , "play's outline" .)
