Same in Britain (except that the rejection of US coins is ... less curious). The funny thing is that sometimes they have these strange machines nearby that I have never seen anyone using[1] but which claim to be able to convert coins for you while taking a cut.
It's true that not all the self-checkouts accept cash but if you go when it's not too busy you can easily find one that does.
[1] OK, I've occasionally "used" one myself but not for putting coins into it. I just like to cheer myself up by reading the hilarious list of objects that I shouldn't insert into it.
