Currency of Brazil

The Brazilian Real


The modern real was introduced in 1994, when it replaced the old currency, the cruzeiro, as part
of the Plano Real, a substantial monetary reform package that aimed to put an end to three
decades of rampant inflation. At the time it was meant to have approximately fixed 1:1 exchange
rate with the United States dollar. It has suffered devaluation since then, leaving the Real at a
value of 1 USD trading at 2.28 R$.
