<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2938166, member: 42034&quot;]I like this period as it was the beginning of the end of the reis after 350 of circulation.&nbsp; These coins are still good silver but they&#039;ve dropped from the ~27.5 (?) grams at .917 fine of the previous issue.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Soon these 2000 reis became .500 fine in the 1920&#039;s (Sao Paulo street fairs have dealers with bins of these in F - VF grades) to brass, then the reis disappeared altogether.&nbsp; Brazil has gone thru 8 new currencies since then tho the real seems to be stable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
