I always have an ashtray full of "pocket change" in my truck, if it is vibrating so hard that it comes open and starts spilling change, I adopt one or more of the washboard suggestions already mentioned, speed-up, slow-down, or let air out.

Of note with airing down for long drives, if you run lower pressure for extended periods or carring substantial weight, your sidewalls flex more and may build up heat that can damage (de-laminate) them. I've learned that the hard way and both ;) times BFG has replaced the tyres under warranty :-)
