Talk:Brazilian real (old)

Use of cifrão and colon

The current text describes the practice of inserting "$" after the thousands digit and ":" after the millions digit; but it does not say when these pracices became current. Were they used from the beginning (as mere aids to readability)? Did they come into use only after the "mil reis" and then "conto de réis" became the practial units? If so, was the change in notation official, or just a popular custom? All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 00:23, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Better name for article

A better title Brazilian real (1790-1942)?--Wetman (talk) 01:59, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

• No objection. (Either way, readers will only find this article through links in Brazilian real or Brazilian currency.) --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 02:56, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Adoption of Offical Currency in 1790

Where does this date of 1790 come from? Everything I've been able to find simply shows it as a continuum of the Portuguese real (at least until independence). Banco do Brasil has a page on colonial era currrency [1] but it doesn't mention anything about this: Indeed there are a few things that appear to contradict it, eg:

1. "As primeiras moedas para uso exclusivo da Colônia, entre 1695 e 1698, eram de ouro, nos valores de 4.000, 2.000 e 1.000 réis" (The first coins for the exclusive use of the colony, between 1695 and 1698, were of gold, in values 4,000, 2000 and 1,000 réis).
2. "O sistema monetário não sofre alterações durante o reinado de D. Maria I (1777-1816)." (The monetary system did not undergo changes during the reign of Dona Maria I (1777-1816)).

The portuguese wiki page makes no reference to this supposed adoption.

Can anyone substantiate the claim? Bagunceiro (talk) 18:16, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
