About Brazilian Cruzados Exchange
The Brazilian Cruzado (BRC) was a transitional currency used in Brazil during the late 1980s, introduced as part of an economic stabilisation plan before being replaced by the Cruzeiro and, ultimately, the modern Brazilian Real. We accept all denominations of Cruzado banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Brazilian Cruzados Banknotes
The Brazilian Cruzado is a fully withdrawn currency — no current series exists. All Cruzado banknotes in circulation were issued during the mid-to-late 1980s and have long since been demonetised. We accept the full range of these notes, including denominations such as the 1000 Cruzados and the 5000 Cruzados, as well as all smaller denominations.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we buy Cruzado banknotes regardless of their age or condition. All the notes in this category are withdrawn by definition, and we accept everything from lower-value notes such as the 10 Cruzados and the 50 Cruzados to higher denominations and everything in between. Damaged or worn notes are accepted provided they remain at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition.
Brazilian Cruzados Coins
We also accept a range of historic Brazilian coins, including Brazilian Cruzado coins as well as later Cruzeiro and Cruzeiro Real issues from Brazil’s successive currency reforms of the late 20th century. Notable examples include the 1000 Cruzeiros Reais coin and the 1000 Cruzeiros coin, along with other denominations from these withdrawn series. As with most coin exchanges, the rate is slightly lower than for banknotes due to additional handling costs.
