Converting from Brazilian Real (BRL) to Bulgarian Lev (BGN)

What is Brazilian Real (BRL)

The symbol for the Real is "R＄," and it is divided into 100 centavos. The currency features various denominations, including banknotes of R＄2, R＄5, R＄10, R＄20, R＄50, and R＄100, as well as coins of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 centavos, along with 1 Real coins.

Brazil's economy is one of the largest in Latin America, and the Real is a significant component of international trade. As a result, it has become increasingly important to understand how to convert the Brazilian Real to other currencies, including the Bulgarian Lev.

What is Bulgarian Lev (BGN)

The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the currency of Bulgaria and has been in use since 1881. Its name derives from the historical "lev," meaning "lion" in Bulgarian, which is a symbol of strength. The Lev is subdivided into 100 stotinki.

As for the currency symbols, the Lev is represented by "лв" in Bulgarian, and the current banknotes come in denominations of лв1, лв2, лв5, лв10, лв20, лв50, and лв100. Coins are minted in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 stotinki, along with 1 Lev coins.

Since Bulgaria joined the European Union in 2007, there has been ongoing discussion about transitioning from the Lev to the Euro, but as of now, the Lev remains the official currency. The Lev is known for its relative stability, largely due to Bulgaria's currency board arrangement, which ties the Lev to the Euro at a fixed exchange rate.
