Rare coins
Some R$1 coins have exceptionally high value for collectors due to their rarity. For example, there is a specific model that can be worth up to R$10,000!
This coin bears the inscription of the letter “P” below the word “Real”, a mark indicating a minting test that accidentally entered circulation. Because of its uniqueness, this coin is highly coveted in the numismatic market.
Historic money
Other R$1 coins that may be worth good money are commemorative editions. One of them, released in 1998, celebrates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and, due to its low mintage, it may be worth up to R$ 1,100.
In addition, another example is the commemorative coin for the 2012 Olympic Games, which marks the passing of the Olympic flag from London to Rio de Janeiro. With only 2 million units minted, each one may be worth R$ 350 to avid collectors.
Furthermore, the 1999 R$ 1 coin is also valuable due to its low mintage, with only 3.84 million units in circulation, and may be worth around R$ 300 each.
Thus, if you have any of these coins, you may be carrying a small treasure without knowing it! It is always a good idea to take a look at the old coins you have; you never know what surprises they may be hiding.
