There’s an old Brazilian currency – Cruzeiro, and I can tell you a little about it…This one was used from April 1990 to September 1994. This one you have was available only until Sep 1992; and this woman in the portrait is called Cecília Meireles, a very very famous Brazilian poet! I also have some like these in my own collection…very nice ;) keep it safe! <br />Big Brazilian hughs!

We have a big fat envelope of notes from our travels and I love leafing through them.

Now you've pointed it out I can't stop staring at yours.

He was fascinated by them too and asked about the places and the people, accidentally learning at the same time! I love these notes. How could you not be intrigued by them, their colours, stories and metal plates. Love the nurse in the last photo. :)Christina Lowryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370046598325657449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288330896048980944.post-13337697088694310112009-10-11T10:47:58.893+10:002009-10-11T10:47:58.893+10:00They are intriguing.
