Riga 39:

The [[dollar sign|dollar-like sign]] in the currency's symbol (and in the symbols of all other Brazilian currencies), called ''[[cifrão]]'' in Portuguese, was always written with two vertical strokes (<math>\mathrm{S}\!\!\!\Vert</math>) rather than one.

==History Storia ==

The [[Portuguese real]] was the currency used by the first [[Portugal|Portuguese]] [[settlers]] to arrive in the [[Americas]], but the first official money to circulate bearing the name "real" was actually printed in 1654 by the [[Netherlands|Dutch]], during their occupation of part of the [[Northeast Region, Brazil|Brazilian Northeast]].

Riga 51:

After the establishment of the Republic in 1889, the value of the currency fell, with a peg of 180&nbsp;mg of gold for the one thousand réis set in 1926. This was abandoned in 1933 when the mil réis was pegged to the [[U.S. dollar]] at a rate of 12$500 réis = 1 dollar. A further devaluation occurred in 1939, when it was pegged to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 22$500 réis = 1 USD. In 1942, the real was replaced by the [[Brazilian cruzeiro|cruzeiro]], at a rate of 1$000 réis = 1 cruzeiro.

In the 1750s, copper coins were in circulation in denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 40 réis, silver coins for 75, 150, 300 and 600 réis, and gold coins for 1000, 2000, 4000 and 6400 réis. The silver coinage was reformed in 1778, with the introduction of 80, 160, 320 and 640 real coins. Between 1780 and 1782, gold 800, 1600 and 3200 réis were added. In 1809, older copper and silver coins were counterstamped with the [[coat of arms of Portugal|Portuguese arms]], doubling the value of 5, 10, 20 and 40 real pieces and increasing the value of 75, 150, 300 and 600 real coins to 80, 160, 320 and 640 réis. From 1810, Spanish 8 [[Spanish real|real]] coins ("[[Spanish dollar]]s") were overstruck to produce 960 real coins. Copper 80 réis were introduced in 1811.
