The Brazilian real (pl. reais; sign: R$; code: BRL) is the official currency of Brazil. It is subdivided into 100 centavos. The Central Bank of Brazil is the central bank and the issuing authority. The real replaced the cruzeiro real in 1994. As of April 2019, the real was the twentieth most traded currency. [1]
Until 1747 the Brazilian real was the same as the Portuguese real, with the gold peça of 13.145 g fine gold worth 6,400 réis or 6 400. After that date, however, the Brazilian real started to become a separate currency unit when the value of the peça was raised by 10% in Brazil (but not in Portugal) to 7,040 réis. [2]

The (first) cruzeiro (Cr$ or C$) was the official currency of Brazil from 1942 to 1967. [1] It replaced the old real (pl. réis), which had been in use since colonial times, at the rate of Rs 1$000 = Cr$1, It was in turn replaced by the cruzeiro novo, at the rate of Cr$1,000 = NCr$1.
The cruzado was the currency of Brazil from 1986 to 1989. It replaced the second cruzeiro (at first called the "cruzeiro novo") in 1986, at a rate of 1 cruzado = 1000 cruzeiros (novos) and was replaced in 1989 by the cruzado novo at a rate of 1000 cruzados = 1 cruzado novo.
