Currency

The currency in Brazil is called the Real, in plural is Reais. However, the name of the money was only adopted in 1994. This was because in the past Brazil had lots of different currency due to fluxes and changes in the economy.

As I said, in the Brazilian currency there are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 bills. Most bills have pictures of animals on one side and then the feminine character that is a representation of Brazil on the other. Coins are available in values of 1 cent , 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents and 1 Real. Coins vary in size and colour.
