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.
