I recall that being discussed before; you might be able to find it by searching the forums. Seems to be by design.

But in any case, how is it a problem, really? If you were able to hoard almost 2 billion coins, it seems like you don't have much need of them to spend. Although I do also pursue some meaningless goals, too -- have 100M food, and closing in on 1B coins, also.
