About Brazilian Real (R$)
The Brazilian Real (BRL, ISO 4217 code 986, symbol R$) is the official currency of the Federative Republic of Brazil, issued by the Banco Central do Brasil (BCB, est. 1964). Subdivided into 100 centavos. Banknotes: R$2, R$5, R$10, R$20, R$50, R$100, R$200 (the R$200 note was introduced September 2020 during COVID-19 stimulus, the highest denomination; featuring the maned wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus on the reverse); coins: 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, R$1. The Real Plan ('Plano Real') of July 1, 1994 — designed by Finance Minister Fernando Henrique Cardoso under President Itamar Franco — replaced the cruzeiro real in a major monetary reform that ended Brazil's 1980s-90s hyperinflation (peak ~5,000% annual inflation in 1990). BCB officially adopted inflation targeting in June 1999 (currently 3.0% CPI ± 1.5% band per Resolução CMN). Brazil is South America's largest economy (~$2.1T GDP), the world's 9th-largest, and a member of BRICS. Major commodity exports include iron ore (#2 global producer after Australia), soybeans (#1 producer), beef, coffee, sugar, and orange juice.
About Bolivian Boliviano (Bs.)
The Bolivian Boliviano (BOB, ISO 4217 code 068, symbol Bs.) is the official currency of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, issued by the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB, est. 1928).

Banknotes: Bs.10, Bs.20, Bs.50, Bs.100, Bs.200 (the highest denomination; current 'Familia de Billetes' series introduced 2018 features Bolivian historical figures and natural landmarks — Genoveva Ríos, Eduardo Avaroa, Adela Zamudio, Bartolina Sisa, Túpac Katari, Salar de Uyuni — the world's largest salt flat, the Madidi National Park, Lake Titicaca, the Royal Cordillera mountains); coins: 10 centavos, 20 centavos, 50 centavos, Bs.1, Bs.2, Bs.5. Bolivia replaced the previous boliviano (BOB ISO code 068) on January 1, 1987 at a rate of 1 new boliviano = 1,000,000 old pesos bolivianos (BOP) — ending a hyperinflation crisis that had reached 24,000% in 1985 (the worst non-wartime hyperinflation outside of Zimbabwe and Weimar Germany). Bolivia is home to the world's largest lithium reserves (~21 million tonnes per USGS, in the Salar de Uyuni and Salar de Coipasa), though commercial extraction remains limited. The BCB targets stable exchange rates (informally pegged to USD around Bs.6.91 per USD).
