"We must prepare for the real start to circulate in the international market. Today is a limited tender, but is beginning to be a demand to be used outside the country and we need a modern paper currency and counterfeit-proof solid that can represent the country, "said Mantega. Central Bank President Henrique Meirelles, said that the real was introduced in 1994 quickly, and found that technological modernization is needed to strengthen the currency in the long run.
Before the real, Brazil had had seven currency exchanges, the last in August 1993 when he fell from the cruzeiro cruzeiro real to adjust the value of currency depreciation that had suffered.
