There should be plenty around (unused) for people who still need them for a
decade if not more.
When were 5.25" DD disks discontinued? You can still find them cheap on ebay
from time to time.
I have never used a 8" floppy disk but they are still available.

Well, as of yesterday, Sony is planning to stop
production of floppy
disks.
Apparently, other companies will still make them, but I'm sure its only a
matter of time....
