Can't quite make out this last clue

23a Well contains joke coins (5)

m ? n ? y

Only a few words will fit but can't parse any of them ! Any help appreciated please

Well = My with One (joke) inside = Money

Thanks Chrisg, had thought of well = my (don't really know why though) but totally confused by one=joke - Ann Bradford's does not give it ?

One is listed as Joke - eg "Have you heard the one about" etc etc
see para 25 on this link

Thank you very much Chrisg for taking the time to explain.
Link interesting; I only looked up 'joke' in Bradford's !

Hello, Pigale!
"One" is listed under "joke" in my copy of Bradford's.

Hi Rusty !

I have just checked Bradford's again and the only thing that is close to 'one' is 'one-liner' - no 'one' on its own.

Sunny but rather fresh today - 9 C in sun at present -

Pigale, 'One' is definitely listed, under 'joke' in my copy of Bradford's (9th edition).

Hi, Pigale!
Bradford's gives 'one' under 'joke ' in my copy , too (7th edition)

I haven't got a Bradford's - should I invest in one ?
