Even though you can go to delivery on many futures contracts you rarely do. In the energies for example, the exchange requirements for delivery are so erroneous (eg post full value of product prior to delivery) that even oif you do go off the board long or short, once you are paired with your physical counterparty most parties agree ADP ("Alternative Delivery Process") the position into a bilateral deal.
I don't know what size currency positions you are talking about but brokers like Interactive Brokers will allow you to have currency positions in the millions and they have extremely tight execution spreads (not sure their interest rates are very end user friendly though). May be something to consider.
