It's as you were without small coins (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
no change
'it's as you were' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'without small coins' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'without' could be 'no' and 'no' is found in the answer.
'coins' could be 'change' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'change' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
