No. Most mints around the world expect to get 50 years or more use out of their coins. A 1940 coin has reached its anticipated "use by" date.

If you refer to a British Penny, the term "old" is relative. The coins have been out of circulation for over 40 years.

Generally coins start to get "old" after 100 years.
