Total volume of Linden dollars: 2,608,448,990
At the current exchange rate of L$265 to $1, this is roughly $9.8 million.

Cash flow:
Last month, there were 42,597 avatars with an increasing balance. 132 of them were earning over $5000 a month. The graph is very bottom heavy, with most users making less than $10. No mention is made of users with a negative cash flow.

Transaction size:
Most transactions are for small amounts under L$500 ($1.88). I'd venture to guess most of these are texture uploads that cost L$10 ($0.038) or small L$2 camping transactions ($0.008). There were 856 transactions over L$1,000,000 ($3,773).
