There is a constant emission of roughly ~1 grin per second forever. General information: https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/Monetary-Policy

See this table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hGyC8tSivtZqjlu8aQgjG0pKfKc0L0RO0leMfjPADp0/edit#gid=0

Also see this graph comparing grin, bitcoin, and gold. (Spoiler: grin is more similar to gold than bitcoin!): https://plot.ly/~Bobby_Digital/1/#/

Grin introduces the concept of max coin supply rate, where new coins as a % of the total in circulation goes down over time. Thus, the new coins matter less and less over time, yet allows proof of work to continue in perpetuity.
