Royal Mint has new coinage? It's standard state of affairs (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

normality

'standard state of affairs' is the definition.
(how things are normally)

'royal mint has new coinage?' is the wordplay.
'has new coinage?' is an anagram indicator.
'royal'+'mint'='royalmint'
'royalmint' is an anagram of 'NORMALITY'.

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for normality that I've seen before include "to be expected" , "conformism" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
