You usually can't exchange coin, only the paper money.
Quite true, but you can't exchange £1 notes at all now - they're no longer legal tender (ended 1988). I think the Scottish £1 notes have gone away as well (there were notes when we visited there last).
I once bought a big pile of £1 coins for $1/£1 on ebay and then went on a trip to the UK two weeks later and spent them.

Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.

Will also buy Swiss, Australian, Euros, Danish and Swedish at similarly uncompetitive rates.
