How to save money while in Brazil
- Eat where the locals eat. Traditional dishes such as feijoada, pão de queijo, and street food snacks often cost much less than tourist-focused restaurants.
- Use public transport where possible. Major cities including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo have extensive metro, train, and bus networks.
- Visit free attractions such as Copacabana Beach, Ipanema Beach, Parque Ibirapuera, and many of Brazil's public parks and coastal walkways.
- Travel outside peak holiday periods and Carnival season if you're looking for lower accommodation and flight prices.
- Shop at local markets for souvenirs and snacks rather than major tourist precincts.
- Exchange AUD to BRL before travelling to avoid airport exchange rates and last-minute fees.
All about Brazilian currency
A quick guide to money in Brazil
Introduced to Brazil in 1994, the Brazilian real is divided into 100 centavos (cents). In 2010, a new series of banknotes was introduced, with added security enhancements and different sizes designed to help people with low vision.
Instead of using a decimal point for the decimal separator, Brazilian reals have a comma. The thousands separator for Brazilian money is the period. So $6,00 is actually 6 reals, not R$600, while $6.000 is six thousand reals. It might be a bit different than what you’re used to, but don’t stress meu amigo – you’ll get the hang of it.
Brazilian notes and coins
Brazil's currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL), symbolized as R$.
Coins come in 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 centavos, and 1 Real (R$1).
Banknotes are in denominations of R$2, R$5, R$10, R$20, R$50, and R$100.
Fun facts about Brazilian cash
- Each Brazilian banknote has a different animal on the back. For example, the $20 has a golden lion tamarin and the $100 has a dusky grouper, a type of fish.
- The female effigy on all Brazilian banknotes, a young woman wearing a crown of bay leaves, is an important symbol of the Brazilian Republic.
- A constellation is printed on each Brazilian coin.
Travel Money Trivia - Brazil edition
- In Portuguese, the word "real" means both royal and real.
- The 1 Real coin is distinctive, being larger than many other world coins. It has an interesting design, with an inner core made of nickel and a bronze-colored ring on the outside, symbolizing the country’s past and present.
- The Real (BRL) replaced the Cruzeiro in 1994 as part of the Brazilian government’s efforts to stabilize the economy and curb hyperinflation
Good to know
- The BRL is also sometimes used in neighbouring Uruguay and Paraguay, so be sure to keep some handy if you plan to venture into either of these countries. So, what are you waiting for? Rápido por favor!
