Reason for asking - found 4 in an old purse during a clear out session and wondered why I hadn't spent them!!

“The £2 coin is legal tender for any amount”
All the commemorative COINS (as opposed to medals & ingots) are legal tender. You can spend any you get. Even Gold & Silver.
However people are not going to spend gold - silver or proof coins that are expensive to buy, in a shop to buy goods. But they could if they wished. I haven’t had any trouble using ordinary commemorative coins of any value.

Yes, but they're usually commemorative, so they may be worth more than £2 to a collector.

Yes they are. I used one this morning.
It isn't true that a shop has to accept it if it has the queen's head on it. Try using a ha'penny in Tesco's today, you'll see.
