There are foreign exchange counters at every one I have ever been to. Perhaps they would have coins, as well. You should probably phone first to be sure.

Have a safe journey and enjoy your time in our country! EDIT btw the 5p piece is ridiculously small...

I don't know where you are located so that is a suggestion. If you are not near AC what about other casinos, Vegas, Connecticut, etc. What about Atlantic City casinos, I know they exchange foreign money, and I heard for a better rate than banks.
