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$.
