How can I dispose of commemorative £2 coins?

Prior to the introduction of the bi-metallic £2 into general circulation The Royal Mint issued a number of single-metal, commemorative £2 coins. A listing of these coins, issued from 1986 to 1996, may be found at the following link.

The commemorative £2 coins were issued to mark special occasions rather than for use in general circulation. They are legal tender but contrary to popular belief this does not mean that banks and retailers automatically have to accept them. Indeed you will probably find that most banks and retailers refuse.
