About this chart

Rates are units per US dollar: month-end observations to 1970, near-daily after, and the site's own daily snapshots from August 2026 onward. Each series starts at the currency's modern era - its introduction or latest redenomination - rather than splicing rebased legacy units onto today's scale, so the euro begins in 1999 and the real at the Plano Real, not at numbers no one ever paid. None of this is investment advice; all of it is geography with a time axis.
