Brazil – Banknotes
Brazilian banknotes include issues of the real and, previously, the cruzeiro, cruzado, cruzeiro real and other denominations that reflect Brazil’s economic and monetary evolution throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The series feature historical figures, cultural elements, national fauna and flora, architectural heritage and symbols representing Brazilian identity, accompanying periods of stability, monetary reforms, economic plans and phases of financial modernization. Due to their design variety, changes in currency standards, signatures and historical relevance within South America, Brazilian paper money is appreciated in international numismatics and sought after by world banknote collectors.
