Nonsense. Toast is a wholesome slice of bread that has been, well, toasted. Doughnuts are lumps of sugared dough that have been deep-fried and saturated in fat.
I had the best doughnut of my life in Chipping Camden. Though perhaps that observation belongs in the random comment thread.

Just save it up in dollars, then exchange when you get to the UK. I've received $20.00 bills from the 1950s in change from the shops before.
Ah, another thing - you know you've been in the US too long when you feel like a weirdo because you still pay for things with cash
