Brazilian Cruzeiros

The Cruzeiro Real, ISO-code BRR, was the last of the 'Cruzeiro' national currencies of Brazil. Brazilian Cruzeiro Real banknotes in circulation were in circulation only from 1993 until 1994. They were replaced by the Brazilian Real at a rate of 1 real for 2750 cruzeiros reais. In addition to Brazilian Cruzeiro Real banknotes we also exchange Cruzeiro Real coins. Furthermore we exchange the demonetized banknotes from Brazil's First Cruzeiro, Second Cruzeiro and Third Cruzeiro national currencies.

The Brazilian Cruzeiro Real (BRR) was a short-lived currency in Brazil, in circulation from 1993 until 1994. These Cruzeiro Real coins were in use for a short time only, until they were replaced by Brazilian Real coins at a rate of 1 real for 2750 cruzeiros reais. The Brazilian Cruzeiro Real coins all feature animals native to Brazil and the Amazon Rainforest. In addition to Brazilian Cruzeiro Real coins we also exchange Cruzeiro Real banknotes. Furthermore we exchange Cruzeiro banknotes from Brazil's First Cruzeiro (1942-1967), the Second Cruzeiro (1970-1986) and the Third Cruzeiro (1990-1993).

These Brazilian Cruzeiros coins were in use in Brazil from 1992 until 1993, when the Third Cruzeiro was the Latin American's country's national currency. The three highest denomination coins, 1000, 500 and 100 Cruzeiros feature native Brazilian marine animals. Made of stainless steel, these Brazilian Cruzeiros coins quickly lost their value caused by the high inflation in Brazil in the early 1990's. In addition to Brazilian Cruzeiros coins, we also exchange Cruzeiro Real coins, Brazil’s First Cruzeiro banknotes, Second Cruzeiro banknotes, Third Cruzeiros banknotes, as well as Cruzeiro Real banknotes.

Brazil introduced the Cruzeiro as its national currency in 1942. The First Cruzeiro was known as the "Cruzeiro antigo" and was in circulation from 1942 until 1967, after which it was replaced by the Second Cruzeiro, "Cruzeiro Novo" at a rate of 1 cruzeiro novo for 1000 cruzeiros antigos. Cruzeiro antigo banknotes were stamped with their value in Cruzeiros Novos. In addition to First Cruzeiros banknotes, we also exchange Second Cruzeiros banknotes, Third Cruzeiros banknotes and Cruzeiros Real banknotes, as well as Cruzeiros Real coins and Brazilian Cruzeiros coins.

The second Cruzeiro was introduced as Brazil's national currency in 1970, originally called 'Cruzeiro Novo', ISO-code BRB. Brazilian Second Cruzeiros banknotes were in use from 1970 until 1986, when they were replaced by the Brazilian Cruzado at a rate of 1000 Cruzeiros to 1 Cruzado. In addition to Brazilian Second Cruzeiros banknotes, we also exchange banknotes of Brazil's other Cruzeiro currencies, the First Cruzeiro, Third Cruzeiro and Cruzeiro Real for which we exchange both paper money as well as Brazilian Cruzeiros coins and Cruzeiro Real coins.

Brazil reintroduced the Cruzeiro as its national currency in 1990, replacing the Cruzado Novo at par. This was the Third Cruzeiro, ISO-code BRE, in use from 1990 until 1993, when the banknotes were replaced by Cruzeiro Reais banknotes at a rate of 1 cruzeiro real for 1000 cruzeiros. These Brazilian Third Cruzeiro banknotes are obsolete and the exchange deadline has long expired. The monetary value of these bills was wiped out by high inflation. They were printed in large quantities and therefore they don't have a high collectable value. However should you still have Brazilian Third Cruzeiro banknotes like the ones in the pictures, we can exchange them for a low rate covering their value as a collectable item. In addition to Brazilian Third Cruzeiros banknotes we also exchange Brazil's First Cruzeiro banknotes, Second Cruzeiro banknotes, Cruzeiro Real banknotes and Cruzeiro Real coins, as well as Brazilian Cruzeiros coins.
