Crossword Genius

Retirees finally relaxing, making money no more (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

schilling

'money no more' is the definition.
(historical coin)

'retirees finally relaxing' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'relaxing' becomes 'chilling' (I've seen this before).
The final letter of 'retirees' is 's'.
's'+'chilling'='SCHILLING'

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for schilling that I've seen before include "Old Viennese piece" , "Money not around any more!" , "Formerly the basic unit of money in Austria" , "Old Austrian currency" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
