Wanting coin? Twas ever thus (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
no change
'twas ever thus' is the definition.
(phrase meaning nothing has changed)
'wanting coin?' is the wordplay.
'wanting' becomes 'no' (to want is to lack or have none of something).
'coin?' becomes 'change' (change is a kind of coin).
'no'+'change'='NO CHANGE'
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
