No the old ones will be cycled out as they get worn or there is a big change in the design (roughly every 15-20 years for notes).

Before they made them smaller in the 1990s the 5p and 10p coins were the same size and value as the pre-decimalisation 1 & 2 shillings. As a kid I saw various Edwards and Georges on the coins still in circulation
