The Central Bank officially announced the gradual withdrawal of the first family of Real banknotes, released in 1994. After more than 30 years in circulation, the classic notes of R$2, R$5, R$10, R$20, R$50, and R$100 are being removed from the banking system and replaced with more modern and secure versions.
---
🧠 Why is this change happening?
- Security: The old banknotes have fewer anti-counterfeiting elements, making it difficult to verify authenticity.
- Logistics: The one-size-fits-all approach of the old banknotes incurs extra costs and limits the efficiency of ATMs.
- Modernization: The new family of the Real has varied sizes, brighter colors, and visual features that facilitate use by people with visual impairments.

💰 Can I still use old notes?
Yes! The notes from the first family continue to be accepted in commerce and maintain their legal value. The difference is that, when passing through banks, they do not return to circulation — they are collected and replaced silently.

🧾 And the impact on day-to-day life?
- Merchants should review their change stocks and train teams to identify valid bills.
- Consumers can continue using normally, but should pay attention to the transition.
- Collectors are keeping an eye: some rare notes are already worth over R$5,000 in the specialized market!
