Brazilian Real for Japanese yen at Wasabi Exchange  in Osaka Japan

We can even exchange old banknotes, or banknotes that are dirty, torn, or have scribble on them, which other stores won't accept.

※Attention※

Depending on the condition of the banknote (dirt, tears, scribble, etc.), the rate may be reduced or we may not be able to purchase it at all.

For Brazilian reals, the exchange rate for current banknotes issued since 2010 is 100% of the displayed rate.

However, old banknotes from one generation ago, from 1994 onwards, can be used, but to exchange them you will need to pay 10% of the displayed rate.

If you receive your change with old notes, ask to have them exchanged! All older banknotes from before that time cannot be exchanged.

The inflation rate was 10.67% in 2015 (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), which was higher than the target median at the time (6.5%).

The Central Bank of Brazil raised interest rates to curb inflation, but since 2016, the policy interest rate has been lowered in response to the decline in inflation and the impact of the spread of COVID-19 on the economy.

Since March 2021, interest rates have been raised in response to rising prices, and since August 2022, they have remained high at 13.75%, but since August 2023, interest rates have been lowered due to the convergence to the inflation target, and as of the end of 2023, they have been at 11.75%.
