Yeah, there can only be 21 million bitcoins ever and out of these, there are only about 12 million currently mined so the 29 million number is obviously incorrect. The image says 29,656.51306529 (or 29,656 whole bitcoins) so it must be 29 thousand bitcoins which the FBI is selling, which is a much more reasonable number and fits in with the other news reports that I've seen.

The U.S. Marshals is selling the Bitcoins that were seized from an FBI bust in October 2013.
The U.S. Marshals plan to sell the coins off in blocks of 3,000 coins for 9 blocks and the remainder in the last block.
They have been "washed", and and given a clean bill of health, backed by the US government.
