First of all, the R$10 note, to be valuable among collectors, must contain some characteristics. Among them, it must be made of polymer and be part of the edition commemorating the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Brazil. As a result, the banknote has several references to the commemorative date, such as the image of Pedro Álvares Cabral, the map “Terra Brasilis”, an excerpt from the letter by Pero Vaz de Caminha and a wind rose stamped.
In addition, a checker filter stands out in the red printed note area. Some printed letters and numbers are even visible with the help of a lens, forming the phrase “Brazil 500 years”. Because of this, the banknote has become a full dish for collectors, who love the details contained in the note.
In general, it is possible to make good money by selling these notes, especially those in good condition. As it is considered one of the rarest among the royal family, it is possible to get up to R$ 150 on the collectors' market. So this commemorative edition, with more than 250 million copies when released, can now be sold for 15 times its initial value.
Being so valuable, it's worth looking for lost notes in your home, or even resorting to those your parents keep as a souvenir. If you find them with the conditions required by the experts, you can guarantee good money or even fall in love with the
Coin collecting hobby.
