If you live near a university, contact the study abroad office and ask if there are any students going to study in Denmark in the fall. Explain that you have some DKK you'd like to swap for USD, and ask them to send a message to those students to ask if any of them are interested in swapping with you. You can just go by whatever the current exchange rate is on XE.com. You may not get any takers, but it's worth a shot!
EDITED TO ADD: When I found myself in a similar predicament a few years ago (with UK pounds, which is not even as "odd" as Danish DKK), I called around and NO ONE would take coins, including at the airport. About £15-£20 of our £70 was made up of coins, since we had several £5 coins. At the time, the exchange rate was roughly 2:1, so that was $30-$40 we couldn't convert!
