They were a one off for something I cant remember what but ye, they worth more than the value of the coin, you can sell them if they are in good nic for like £20.

I had some five pound coins and something else a long time ago... it was commemorative to something the queen did... or something... so it'll be worth more in the future. It had a nice little box and everything.

I've seen them before but they are rare.
I dunno if shops accept them or not.

The 5 pound coin is an endangered species, please keep it in circulation otherwise I fear it will be extinct
