The word "Real" used today as the name of the Brazilian currency during the Middle Ages was the name of the Spanish and Portuguese gold coins, meaning "royal". In 1690, the Real became the official currency of Brazil. However, due to its depreciation and the uninterrupted process of inflation, only banknotes of huge denominations (from 1 thousand to 1 million) were used in circulation, therefore it is generally accepted that the actual Brazilian currency in the period from 1690 to 1942. was Reis (the plural meaning of the word real had the form reis, over time it transformed into reais).
