Hi, I have an old 1939 500 reis...its kinda cool. I also have some very nice newer mintage stuff...they make some beautiful coins...
@pilkenton - yes, the silver ones are pretty...I like the new gold and silver ones (kind like the EU) I like how this dude seems to be looking right at you
Here are a few Brazil coins. It is a great place to visit. I enjoy all the high denomination inflationary coins and the countermarked inflationary coins. By changing the valuation of the money, the goverment made some serious cash I think. Here is a 500 Reis coin: Here is a 1000 Reis coin: Here is a counterstamped 40 Reis coin: I've also got a nice set of coins from the Brazilian Leper colony.
