It would depend on your definition of "old".

If you refer to British decimal Pennies, the only year they have not been struck for general circulation was 1972, but there were 1972 Proof Pennies struck.

If you refer to British predecimal Pennies, they have been predecimal Pennies in circulation since the late 9th century AD.

To keep it manageable we will only look at 20th century Pennies.

Pennies were not struck in 1923, 1924, 1925, 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1955 to 1960 inclusive.

To be entirely fair, there were 1933, 1952 and 1954 Pennies struck, but they were struck as "pattern" or "proof" coins in very small quantities ranging from 1 to maybe 8 coins. These are considered extremely rare if not unique, and are locked up in various collections or museums.

What is a new pence coin?

The coins struck in the United Kingdom up to 1967 were known as the old currency or £ - s - d. They included the old pennies struck up to that date. From Monday 15 February 1971 decimalisation took place and the new coins were the 1/2p, 1p and 2p. They were all given 'NEW PENNY' or 'NEW PENCE' as part of the legend as they were at the time the new currency. From 1983, after 12 years of being issued, they were simply called 'ONE PENNY' or 'TWO PENCE'. The 1/2p was withdrawn in 1984.
