Easy, just do what Americans do; use the paper notes for your
transactions; don't bother counting the coins when you get change; throw
your coins in a jar until you visit the bank with free coin counting
machines. (You will occasionally get some Canadian coins and lose a bit
from inaccuracies in coin machines but you gain so much piece of mind.)

More Americans use cash than their UK counterparts due to deep seeded
distrust of authorities, banks, and technology in large portions of the
USA population.
