Brazilian Real (plural: reais)
The Real (R$) is the currency of Brazil. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 reais. Coins are in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 centavos, and also in 1 real.
Some people spend more and some people spend less. You should do some research on your own about costs, think about how you usually spend money when you are traveling, and create a realistic budget for yourself.

ATM cards require a 4 digit pin—be sure you have one before you leave. MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted in Brazil and will also give you the best exchange rate. Don’t rely solely on one method of getting money; have a back up. Be sure to contact your credit card company and bank well before leaving to make sure you credit and ATM cards will work in Brazil.
