Runs into task with Bulgarian currency (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stotinka

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bulgarian currency' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'runs into task' is the wordplay.
'runs' indicates anagramming the letters.
'into'+'task'='intotask'
'intotask' is an anagram of 'STOTINKA'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stotinka that I've seen before include "Bulgarian's money" , "Hundredth of a Bulgarian lev" , "ready for Bulgarian" , "Bulgarian copper" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
