That number is magical, in that it's the maximum value of a signed 32-bit integer (which are used for just about everything in computers). While the limit was first discovered for characters back in January of last year, it likely is the same for guild banks, however I have no way of verifying it. In my humbled opinion, Blizzard should recode things (hopefully the process wouldn't be too painful) and set the limit as an octaword. Making the gold limit 17,014,118,346,046,923,173,168,730,371,588,410 57s 28c. That's 17 decillion gold. The limit is 214,748g 36s 48c.
