Head of coin in change causes heated row (11)
I believe the answer is:
altercation
'heated row' is the definition.
'altercation' can be an answer for 'row' (altercation is a kind of row). I am not certain of the 'heated' bit.
'head of coin in change' is the wordplay.
'head of' suggests taking the first letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'change' becomes 'alteration' (alteration is a kind of change).
The first letter of 'coin' is 'c'.
'c' going inside 'alteration' is 'ALTERCATION'.
'causes' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for altercation that I've seen before include "breeze" , "Noisy argument" , "One's argued" , "heated dispute" , "Noisy disagreement" .)
