Trivia: Which South American nation has used eight separate currencies since 1942?
Suriname
Brazil
Chile
Colombia
The correct answer is Brazil
So why is this answer correct? : Though the modern Brazilian real has been stable since 1994, it was preceded by over five decades of monetary chaos and inflation, beginning with the nation’s use of the cruzeiro as their official currency in 1942. The Brazilian mint was founded as far back as 1694 under Portugal’s King Peter II, and the first Brazilian banknotes were issued in 1835.
