There is in fact .00000001 less bitcoins in existence then displayed on bitcoinwatch because someone intentional created a block with a reward of 49.99999999 bitcoins. The network only checks to make sure that you don't reward your self extra bitcoins.

Which block was this?

http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ has both the total number of blocks and the total number of Bitcoins in existence, which is (# blocks) * 50.  Multiply that by the current price.

Obviously the final result will change every minute, as the price changes and the number of blocks found increases.

How can we see the entire value of all the BitCoins? (if we assume that the price of MtGox is the price). I want to know in order to make a new article on www.italkcash.com about the BitCoin mania and I want to put a LOT of facts down to stop some of the confusion among people online.
