Newly-minted coin goes to me in wages (6)
I believe the answer is:
income
'wages' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'newly-minted coin goes to me' is the wordplay.
'newly minted' is an anagram indicator (mint can mean to forge or create in a factory).
'goes to' says to put letters next to each other.
'coin' with letters rearranged gives 'inco'.
'inco'+'me'='INCOME'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for income that I've seen before include "Pay earned" , "Remunerations, takings" , "Wage" , "Money gained over time" , "Money received on which tax is payable" .)
