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"
;) ;) )

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.
