In Brazil, discovered in 1500 and for a long time being a colony of Spain, there was no single currency for a long time, after w...hich the Spanish real took its place. 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).

History reference:
The Moldovan leu is the currency of Moldova. The Moldovan leu became the national currency of Moldova in late autumn 1993. Despite the large number of economic reforms and political upheavals that th...e Republic of Moldova experienced during the years of its independence, its money has changed little. The main role in the internal and external markets of the Moldavian Principality was played by foreign silver and gold coins: ducats, florins, zlotys and others. In the 17th century, the Dutch coin “leeuwendaalder”, which depicted a lion, also penetrated the Balkans and Moldova. The inhabitants of Moldova called these coins lei. In 1867, this name was given to the currency of Romania, and after the collapse of the USSR, the monetary unit of Moldova. The Bulgarian lev has exactly the same etymology.
