Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I always wondered what different nations called their coinage
You should read about Brazil and our history of hyperinflation. The “old coin” OP is referring was Réis. Then it came the Cruzeiro (comes from cross and a constellation we see in our sky). Then the hyperinflation came and we had too many zeros in our day-to-day currency. So we cut 3 zeros and the currency became Cruzado (crossed). But it didn’t work, so we cut again and it became Cruzeiro Novo and then again Cruzado.
Finally, a team managed to control the inflation by making the economy flow with the dollar. We indexed the prices and salaries to an index called OTN and then BTN and finally this BTN became the Real.
Worth noting, we also had a very short lived Cruzeiro Real, between 1993 and 1994, right before the final Real entered circulation
Oh god, I was born in 1974 and lived in Brazil until 2007 and I don’t remember all the currencies we had. Soooo many!
