There is no symmetry at all I don't think. You get them from different places most times ,so the amounts will be different.

I could not care as long as the amounts keep on increasing.

If one cared about such things, the focus would be on keeping up with supply production - because coins are much more automatic.
To increase supply production ideal is probably a combination of
- efficient supply production buildings (i think QI's neo Globe is a reasonable and easily attainable option; neo Checkmate might be a bit more all-round but not as high supply production)
- "Finish all Supply Productions" - neo clocktower is an excellent source of these at 1/3 a kit per day
- Supply Boost without charge limits ((Ascended) Pirate Treasure Cove, (Ascended) Shinto Temple, (Ascended) Golden Crops Feast, Serene Moose Mountain)
- "Mass Self Aid Kit"s - twice the production if everything's motivated, not necessarily an easy thing to work in but significant if you can - want 1 for each finish all supply ideally. A bunch of camelots or a long winter train with new cars could be ways to generate excess mass aids. (or viewed another way if you happen to have either of those for other reasons and want a use for your mass aids, mass finishes on 24 hr supply productions could put them to use).
Each factor is multiplicative with the others so you want to keep them balanced to some extent. Whichever is weakest for you currently you probably want to find ways to improve.
i.e. if you have 12 neo globes, adding 3 neo clocktowers is like adding 12 more. But once you have 15 neo clocktowers, adding 2 more neo globes or 3 more neo clocktowers is the same overall benefit (14 * 6 = 12 * 7).
You can go through phases instead - most of the time having clocktowers down and stocking up finishes, and then occasionally storing them for extra supply buildings and/or boost space and burning the finishes in short order. Then storing those back and going back to making finishes again.
But as others have mentioned, keeping coins and supplies balanced is generally less important than making what you need. Still, there are situations where you might be short supplies (i.e. some of the recent space age great buildings suck them up en masse) and decide to care about optimizing them for a period
