Answer

yup, if u ask for a replacement card as well when u purchase  

Answer

No, actually. Sim cards were created for SECURITY. Remember back when people were "cloning" (duplicating IMEI signatures to make calls on other peoples phones)? Can't do that now. If a replacement SIM is activated, the old sim is automatically DEactivated.
No two cards can be simultaneously active with the same number.
Furthermore, once deactivated, it can't be re-activated. At least not without some inevitable device is created for "wiping" or "resetting" a SIM.
