Brazil Monetary Reforms

(1942) 1,000 Reis = 1 Cruzeiro
(1967) 1,000 Cruzeiros = 1 Cruzeiro novo
(1986) 1,000 Cruzeiro (novos) = 1 Cruzado
(1989) 1,000 Cruzados = 1 Cruzado novo
(1990) 1 Cruzado novo = 1 Cruzeiro
(1993) 1,000 Cruzeiros = 1 Cruzeiro Real
(1994) 2,750 Cruzeiro Reals = 1 Real
(currently) 2.36 Brazilian Real = 1 U.S. Dollar
 

So, a pre-1942 twenty Reis coin is worth
$0.0000000000000000031 U.S.
(Unless you're a coin collector!)
