I can confirm that bullion patches are still going up to the ISS with Roscosmos crews for specific programs or commemorations. I know of at least two for 2021 missions.

I bought the complete Apollo bullion patches from an old gentleman in Cape Canaveral. Many years have passed so I don't know if his store in Cape Canaveral still exists. Unfortunately I do not remember the name.

That was Tom Foley of Cape Kennedy Medals/Mint in Cocoa Beach, FL. Tom actually had three locations in the beach town area spanning from the 1980-20's. He also had a couple of locations, but at different time periods, on Merritt Island. The long-time space vendor was mostly known for his souvenir shop right across the street from the world-famous Ron Jon Surf Shop complex on A1A.

Picked this set up on eBay.

Size and execution are similar to the ones I posted earlier.
