Scrap coin article (5)
I believe the answer is:
piece
This clue is a triple definition!
'scrap' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'coin' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'article' is the third definition.
(article can mean a thing or item)
(Other definitions for piece that I've seen before include "Slice" , "bishop on board, say" , "Musical work; bit" , "Component; portion" , "Separate part of a whole" .)
