thanks for your replies!
I was interested to know is there a way to get money supply from the wallet console window as it is possible with most altcoins. Is there no such feature in bitcoin wallet?

The first 210,000 blocks had a block subsidy of 50 BTC.
After that all the remaining blocks so far have had a block subsidy of 25 BTC.
Since the current block height is 313,468 (as of the moment that I'm writing this):
210,000 X 50 + ( (313,468 - 210,000) X 25 ) = 13,086,700
Therefore, the total money supply at the moment is approximately 13,086,700 BTC.
As of an analysis in the beginning of July, there are 2,745.22283996 BTC that are provably lost forever.
This reduces the current total supply to 13,083,954.77716004
There are many more bitcoins that have been sent to addresses where the private key is no longer known (or perhaps was never known). These bitcoins are almost certainly "lost" as well, but they can't be proven to be lost. It is very difficult to get an accurate estimate of just how many bitcoins are stored with such addresses, and therefore there isn't a reliable estimate of how many bitcoins are likely to still be spendable.
I mean like altcoins have "getinfo" command that shows moneysupply of a coin. Bitcoin doesn't have that so may be there's some other command that will show me total bitcoin money supply
