Brazil bills

Brazil changed its currency eight times between 1942 and 1994. Cruzeiro, cruzeiro novo, cruzado, cruzado novo, cruzeiro again, cruzeiro real, and finally the real. Thirteen zeros were eliminated in half a century, resulting in a vast field of notaphily.

Overstamped banknotes

In several of these reforms, there was no time to print new series, so old banknotes were overstamped with the new value printed on them. These specimens with two denominations at once are some of the most educational examples that exist of what a redenomination is.

The real and the Republic

The current series features the allegorical effigy of the Republic on the obverse and Brazilian fauna on the reverse: the sea turtle, the jaguar, the macaw, and the maned wolf. It is one of the most stable and recognizable series in the Americas.
