If your asking about the British ten pound note, then it is still in circulation and there are no plans to withdraw it. (February 2009)
The modern Fifty Pound note was introduced into the currency in 1981 to keep pace with the times and inflation. The introduction of a higher value banknote, such as the Fifty Pound note, relieves the pressure on the smaller banknotes such as the Ten and Twenty Pound notes. This means that the Ten and Twenty Pound notes will last longer in circulation and become relatively cheaper to produce and maintain in circulation due to a reduced demand for them.
If you refer to Bank of England banknotes, those currently in circulation include the Five, Ten, Twenty and Fifty Pound notes.
