Everything about Brazilian Cruzeiro Real totally explained

The cruzeiro real (CR$, plural: cruzeiros reais) was the short-lived currency of Brazil between 1st August, 1993 and mid-1994. No subdivisions were issued. The cruzeiro real replaced the third cruzeiro, with 1000 cruzeiros = 1 cruzeiro real. The currency had the ISO 4217 code BRR. The cruzeiro real was replaced in circulation by the real at a rate of 1 real for 2750 cruzeiros reais. Before this occurred, the unidade real de valor (pegged to the U.S. dollar at parity) was used in pricing, to allow the population to become accustomed to a stable currency (after many years of high inflation) before the real was introduced.

Coins

Stainless-steel coins were issued in 1993 and 1994 in denominations of 5, 10, 50 and 100 cruzeiros reais.

Banknotes

In 1993, provisional banknotes were introduced in the form of cruzeiros notes overprinted in the new currency. These were in denominations of 50, 100 and 500 cruzeiros reais. Regular notes followed in denominations of 1000, 5000 and 50,000 cruzeiros reais.
