Portuguese commemorative EUR coins

As I know, only 2 EUR commemorative coins are considered circulating in the Eurozone. However, in Portugal there are a lot of different coin denominations of circulating commemoratives, including silver ones. Is this a mistake and they should be marked as non-circulating commemoratives, or are they actually circulating somewhere?

Here are a few examples:

Hi

In Slovenia we have 3 EUR commemorative coins which are accepted as legal tender, but not outside of Slovenian borders. I am also not sure how to appropriately designate them - circulating or non-circulating coins. It depends from point of view. I presume there could be added another option "locally circulating coin". I presume the special coins from Portugal are also legal tender in Portugal, or are they not?

Guidelines say (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/contributions/instructions.php):
Circulating issue
Check whether or not the coin has ever circulated. If a coin was intended to be really used as currency, check "yes". If on the contrary the coin was only released for collectors and never circulated, check "no". If you are not sure, select "Unknown".

And speaking of Guidelines, they should seriously be updated, as many members have already written over this. I would go further and nominate a referee for guidelines updating in the same way coins/notes pages are being updated. Then users can propose changes to the page.

Hi LP,

Thank you for answer! This particular topic of circulating/non-circulating coins is rather ambiguous. Would be great to have a bit more specific guidelines for it.

Also I recently saw French "new" version of 1 euro coin, which was apparently issued only in sets, but is listed as circulating. Of course some of them might have been taken out of sets and are circulating, but I would not call this coin a circulating one when it is issued only as a part of set. Or at least if we do so, many more coins should be called circulating:

​I think it's marked as that since it is the standard circulating design on the 1st map as well, and that France might release this design for circulation at some point. However, with coins like this, it gets tricky. What if it has circulating properties (like the same design as a circulating coin or some years that are circulating), but has some years exclusively made for collectors?

​Yes, can be quite tricky...
