It is annoying to constantly answer the question what the total amount of Ether(eum) will be. There will be no final amount.

I created this thread to show how many Ether will be created in the next 100 years. Year 0 = 2015.

...

As you see, there are created exactly 15,626,576 Ether each year (it is 26% of the originally created 60,102,216 Ether).

Technically incorrect, PoW difficulty increases exponentially after 1 year, causing the block interval to increase and block creation to essentially cease.  Before then a hard fork is to be issued, likely to PoS / Casper.  No details are set in stone, however a 1500 coin staking minimum has been suggested.  The PoS monetary policy is TBD, could be tx fees + inflation or processing fees only, subject to security considerations.
