The popular Russian blogger Artemy Lebedev [1] is known for changing the title of his blog every few days. Usually it is a line from spam emails. The current title is the translation into Russian of "We now accept rubles (RUB)", most likely taken from the Wikipedia fundraising banners.
Lebedev also happens to be a designer who created the ruble symbol; it is not official yet, but used here and there.

And I still wait for the day we start to accept Brazilian reais (so I don't have 20 OTRS messages / day asking about it ;) ) _____ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484

We accept Credit Card donations from Brasil since at least 2008 (that was the 1st Fundraising I saw). The problem is that brasilian people often don't pay anything with credit cards (at least not with Visa or MasterCard), we pay things with direct transfer or debit card (not acceptable in WMF Fundraising) and - if a Brazilian want to buy something too expensive - with a specif store credit card (like for example a "walmart credit card") - who works in Walmart and in Walmart only.
And since paypal also does not work with Brazilian reais, the only people from Brasil donating to fundraising is a very small part of the population who was a credit card who allow them to do International transfers.
Basically is what I answer to people from 3 years now ;)
But since we accept Rupee and Rubles, I have a small hope that we can accept Reais too this year (after all, the three currencies starts with "R" ;) ;) ) _____ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484
