Welcome to the forums.

The £5 coins don't circulate and are called crowns. I think some other others you have are crowns as well. I have only been in the UK since 1998, so I never saw older UK coins. http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/coins.html is a good reference site and has pictures, so you should be able to figure out what you have.

Your £2 coins are the only style which have been withdrawn from circulation.

Check to see if there is a dome mintmark on the dome £5, that is worth more, I don't have either, but hey. The £5 DO circulate, but in I don't know how many years I have seen about 4-5 of them. They are legal tender and are considered as circulating coins, but sometimes people don't accept them, and they are not produced in enough numbers
And the mint has not released the 2009 Henry VIII one for normal general £5 for £5 which is annoying me greatly, as they have released the other olympic one and that was announced much later on!
