A substitute for dried/dessicated shredded/flaked coconut will depend on the recipe. Most use it for flavour and texture.

In some recipes, rolled oats or wheatgerm could be the subsitute, but be aware that this will give a very different flavour, and is not suitable for some recipes. Coconut ice is very dependent on the texture and flavour of the coconut.

It depends to a certain extent on how they are being used. If they are baked or mixed into the item, it can simply be left out. There is not likely to be much change in the recipe other than the flavor. In some items, say a fruit salad, sesame seeds can provide a flavor boast, try it and see if you like it before sharing! For decoration, you could used crushed nuts instead of coconut.
