No. The British Shilling was superceded by the 5 New Pence coin in 1968.

Due to "technical issues", the British Shilling and the 5 New Pence coins being of similar size and weight, continued to circulate side by side until 1990 when they were withdrawn from circulation along with the 5 New Pence and 5 Pence coins and collectively replaced by the new and smaller 18mm diameter 5 Pence coins.
