You can still find new floppies. Try to get Imation 5.25" (bar code
05111112883 from 10 floppy box) or 3.5" (bar code 05111112881 from 10
floppy box), both items USA made in 2010.
They are the best I could find (chromium dioxide on PTFE, it looks like
a black mirror).
Since I found them here in Serbia, I think you can get them in USA also.
The address is:
Imation Enterprises Corp.
1 Imation Place, Oakdale, MN 55128-3414 USA
