Brazilian Real to Ghanaian Cedi

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 Ghanaian cedi (sign GH₵, code GHS) is the currency used in circulation in Ghana. The currency is not used outside the country. The Ghanaian cedi uses pesewa as change.

One cedi equals 100 pesewas. In 1965, the cedi became the sole currency in the country. Before that, Ghana had changed its currency several times. Since the country was a British colony, its territory allowed pounds sterling and later on, it was replaced with the West African pound. Afterwards, the Ghanaian pound took its place. All notes, except 50 cedi, depict portraits of the state’s politicians. The 50-cedi banknote portrays the cocoa fruit.
