Are Robbins Medallions still being made for NASA commercial crew flights?
Just wondering, will the tradition go on or not?

We may have to wait for someone to ask the astronauts on the current missions if they flew medallions (or the ingots to strike them post-flight), or if that tradition has indeed ended.

That may take a while. It's a small, small niche.
Perhaps during some sightings someone could ask indeed. It's interesting to know; the tradition last(s/ed) for decades after all.

What was the latest Robbins Medallion?
I'm pretty sure they still make it for the ISS missions, do they? What about the SpaceX ones?
