Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 06/13/2014 8:30 pm These coins belong to the "Brazilian real", the current currency unit in Brazil which was first introduced in 1995. These "first series" coins remain legal tender, except for the 1 real denomination which was withdrawn in 1998 and demonetized in 2003, having been replaced with a bimetallic coin. Any coins that you might find denominated in "centavos" which are older than 1995 belong to previous Brazilian currencies, which suffered badly from inflation. While they might still technically be redeemable at the central bank, they would only be worth a tiny fraction of a current centavo. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
