They are every day.
With every block new coins are mined and are available out of nothing, so the supply of bitcoins running dry is not a concern for the near future.

After each halving we have less and less coins getting mined.
Just the next two will bring the reward to 3 coins per block.

That 21xx term when the supply will be done is a bit misleading because the block rewards in the last year will be better counted ins atoshi than in BTC. For example after the 10th halving the reward will be only 0.09 BTC and after the 30th  only 0.00000009.

All reports at this stage indicate that there is no capacity to increase the pool from 21 million. It is irrelevant though as fractions down to ridiculous levels are possible so it is all aesthetics. I'd like to hear views as to why a larger volume count would affect the price.

Please go to the newbies and help section and spend some time there.
Reports? Capacity?

Let's say Ferrari will produce next years 30 billion cars. How much to you think the price for one will be in the end?

Or, the classic example...Zimbabwe.
Unlimited coins means exactly the opposite in price, as close as possible to 0.
