About Brazilian Reais Exchange
The Brazilian Real (BRL) is the official currency of Brazil, one of South America’s most visited destinations for both business and leisure travellers. We accept all denominations of Brazilian Real banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Brazilian Real Banknotes
Current Brazilian Real banknotes are issued by the Banco Central do Brasil and feature a range of native wildlife on the reverse, alongside modern security features including watermarks, security threads, and colour-shifting ink on higher-value notes. We accept all denominations in circulation, and if you have leftover Reais from a trip to Brazil alongside other South American currencies such as Argentine Pesos or Peruvian Soles, we can handle those too.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we accept withdrawn Brazilian Real banknotes as well as notes that are torn, worn, or otherwise damaged. Brazil has issued several series of the Real since its introduction in 1994, and older designs are welcome here — if the note is at least 50% intact, we will make you an offer, though the rate may be slightly lower than for current notes. If you have older Brazilian currency from before the Real era, we also buy Brazilian Cruzados.
Brazilian Real Coins
We buy a full range of Brazilian Real coins, including centavo denominations such as the 50 centavo coin and the 1 Real coin, as well as smaller centavo pieces. Rates for coins are slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved, but we accept them where most exchanges will not.
