The London Tube payment system updates mean the Underground ticket system no longer accepts US Visa cards - debit or credit - unless they have the Chip + Pin (chip-pin uses a chip on the front of the card as a way to partially "dip" the card without putting the card all the way in to a machine).
Go to the wide, large ticket machines (typically in the center or at the end of a bank of machines) if you have bank notes or want to receive change for your pound or two-pound coins.
If you have coins and don't mind not receiving change, there is often one other machine in the bank of ticket machines keyed to this option.
