Directs each federal agency and U.S. instrumentality that has or continues to conduct space-related missions, in addition to the efforts at retrieving metals described above, to make efforts to secure and retrieve from privately-held craft flown in space such gold, silver, copper, and other metals that the Director determines are appropriate for use in the production of any coins under this Act. Expresses the sense of the Congress that each Federal agency and U.S. instrumentality which retrieves any such metals should comply with the recordkeeping procedures described above with respect to such metal.

Requires the Secretary, in addition to the issuance of coins under this Act in such other methods of presentation that the Secretary determines to be appropriate, to provide, as a sale option, a presentation case that displays the $50 gold coin in the center surrounded by the one dollar silver coins in an elliptical orbit.
