I was just looking up what that function actually returns. If it's the total that can be spent, then we can say it's the current bitcoin supply, which is different from the total mined.

Perhaps that is the correct answer as to when the 20 millionth bitcoin was mined.

As far as supply goes, it is the case that by block 940048 my node still hadn't seen the supply of bitcoins reach 20 million. 

The command I ran `gettxoutsetinfo` sums satoshis in every unspent tx output. So, it isn't really returning the total mined, so much as the total bitcoin that can be spent.

The genesis block 50 didn't get mined and 29 bitcoins that were not claimed as subsidies (though they could have been): so I think the earliest we get 20 million bitcoin isn't until block 940073?

If we took out 79 bitcoins, by my calculations, it was at 940025.

Are there 20 million bitcoins yet?
