The BRL (Brazilian Real) is Brazil’s currency, introduced in 1994 to tame hyperinflation. Coins come in 5, 10, 25, 50 centavos and 1 real, with bills from 2 to 200 reais. Each note features an animal—like the jaguar on the 50—reflecting Brazil’s biodiversity. Check out more at the Central Bank of Brazil.
