 Brazilian real - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The real (plural réis) was the currency used by the first Portuguese settlers to arrive in the then New World, but the first official money to circulate bearing the name "real" was actually printed in 1654 by the Dutch, during their occupation of part of the Brazilian Northeast.
The real became Brazil's official currency in 1690, and it would remain as such until 1942, when it was replaced by the cruzeiro at a rate of 1000 réis = 1 cruzeiro.
The real was affected by inflation during its long lifespan and the base currency unit shifted from one real to mil réis (one thousand réis) and to one conto de réis (one million réis) in the final years of the República Velha era.
