What you need to know about the currency Brazilian Real
The Brazilian real (R$) has been the official currency of Brazil since 1994. It is the strongest in Latin America and was established by Itamar Franco. The entity responsible for issuing it is the Banco Central do Brasil. There are another 80 currencies used in the country.
Currently, there are banknotes of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Brazilian reais. This last denomination began to be issued in 2020. They are made of paper and incorporate security features against money laundering.
The currencies in Brazil are 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 centavos, as well as one real, which is divided into 100 centavos (¢). The ones currently in use belong to the second series of reais, issued in 1998. The 1¢ coin was withdrawn, but the existing ones are still in circulation.
From 1942 until 1986, the real cruzeiro existed. This currency has historically alternated with the Brazilian real (BRL) to combat periods of inflation and economic change in the country. This currency was equivalent to 1000 cruzeiros and is no longer in use.
Despite the fact that around 150 million banknotes of 1 Brazilian real are still in circulation, they are very difficult to find. For professional collectors, these banknotes can reach a value of up to 100 reais because they are no longer produced.
