The currency in Brazil is the Real (R$). You can change US Dollars
at exchange shops or hotel front desks. Other currencies are not
widely available, so you are advised to bring US$ Dollars or
travelers checks. There are three usual exchange rates: commercial,
tourist and free.
The Real has coins of one, five, ten, twenty-five, fifty centavos,
and one Real and there are bills of one, five, ten, fifty and one
hundred Reais. Foreign currencies and travelers checks can be
exchanged at hotels, banks and tourist agencies. Most international
credit cards, such as Visa, Diners Club,
BankAmericard, Master Charge and American Express are accepted in
major establishments.
