My wife is traveling to Rio in July (I can't go, unfortunately) but I was hoping to set up an exchange if possible. I live in Mexico so I have access to lots of Mexican currency but I have a bunch of different things for exchange. I have a full set of the most modern Brazilian banknotes and coins so I'm looking for some of the older stuff that doesn't circulate any more.
As for logistics, I would have my wife leave your notes and coins at her hotel desk where you would pick it up and leave your batch of notes and coins.
