There are already more than 18 trunks of coins. Does anyone know what the maximum number is?

there is no maximum,
but with the fork rewards of 250k/block we have reduced inflation to around 52.56 billion
coins per year, which is less than 1% annual growth.

most coins do not have a maximum number, some are capped by halving regimes, some are capped by coded limitations on coinsupply,
most will continue to grow forever at a steady rate.

for some random examples Wink

bumbacoin has a set 2 coin/block reward resulting in annual growth of around 1.05 million coins,
compared to say doge which apparently has a constant 5.256 billion coins/year,
vs
Peercoin which has 1% pos rate which can result in a varying amount (due to how many coins are staking), has apparently had actual inflation rate of 3.12% over the last year https://www.peercoinexplorer.net/inflation/

and of course Bitcoin, which due to some cool maths, will continue to halve rewards forever and never quite reach 21 million coins
