They are English silver coins worth £5, bigger than the £2 coin and have like the Queen Mother, or Princess Diana's face on one sign, and the normal Queen on the other. They are supposed to mark a special occasion. So are they legal tender? Or just for looking at. Because I have like £30 worth and to be honest, I'd rather spend it!!

I believe what you are discussing is the Princess of Wales Memorial Coin.
As you can see from the various sites listed here
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=commemorative+coins+england+diana&fr=FP-tab-web-t341&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8
that coin, and others similar which might ALSO be what you have in hand, in their proper presentation, are worth MORE than face value (as are most such commemoratives).
Would suggest you refrain from trying to spend them, someone would likely be THRILLED enjoy YOUR LOSS while THEY get them for FACE value! ;)
Check values and perhaps investigate your own coin with a coin dealer. :)
Best wishes.

Each Princess Diana coin is worth about £25 mostly because it is silver. If they are brilliant uncirculated it may go up in value to £40.
They are legal to use but if you really want to get rid quickly of them then sell it to a jeweler for the silver value.
You have 6 coins=£30 face value or £150 collector value or £95 in silver.
