As far as I know, yes -- they still mint special "maundy money" and give it out.

And when the decimalised the currency, they converted old maundy money to new pence at the rate of one old penny = one new penny, so old maundy money (which is still valid money TTBOMK) is now worth 2.4 times as much as it was originally.
