Gold Cap?

241,000 Gold is the most you can have?

Someone on our realm recently hit this magic figure and apparently you can't have any more gold than that.

Lolwut? Why that number? Somone said it's 2^20 copper, but it isn't, I don't get it.

But if you spend half your in-game life surfing the auction house making money what do you do when you can't do that anymore??
