Brazilian Real to Armenian dram

The Brazilian real (symbol: R$, codes: BRL and 986) is the national currency of Brazil. Real is divided into 100 centavos. It is one of the youngest currencies in the world.

Contemporary Brazilian money was put into circulation in 1994, replacing the Cruzeiro real. Modern banknotes depict sculptures and representatives of Brazilian fauna. The second series of the real, developed in 2010, have been released nowadays. Beginning with 2009 the real exchange rate against the dollar has remained stable.

The Armenian dram (sign ֏, code AMD) is the national currency of the Republic of Armenia, used within the borders of this Caucasian country. 1 dram could be previously subdivided into 100 lum. However, there are no coins or notes worth less than 10 dram used right now.

The currency has been issued in 1993 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Before that, the Soviet rubles had been in use. The country’s symbol on the notes was presented as iconic figures from the Armenian people, and as great architectural and art monuments as well. There is the national coat of arms and denomination decorated with a colorful design. The monetary unit’s name comes from the Greek drachma.
