Totally true.
But about the max supply, I must admit gjhiggins and notsofast had me doubting for a while, so I checked with other devs just to make sure and you know what ? The max money is well... the max money.
static const int64 MAX_MONEY = 2900000 * COIN;
MAX_MONEY limits the total number of coins allowed in a single transaction/fee NOT the total number of coins.
@Graham : Wrong. You're just full of fud!
Strong words, I am sure you are sure you have the facts to base that accusation.
Would you eventually enlighten me as where in your sources MAX_MONEY limits the total supply?
Oh, and maybe you could use a dev-tool called google and end up with a link like that:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6197/files
Or you could consult this very same forum and find

@Graham: thank you for your repeated insights and helpful posts, I learn a lot from them!
