can you post a picture of what you are trying to submit?
Of course, these are Banknotes of about 90 Years old, to the Republic of the United States of Brazil,I would like to know how to send, send inside an envelope or otherwise, and the bureaucracy.

a start:

we are the USA coins forum.
I do not know world currency. but the ones you have shown are for sale on ebay and are low value
just to send them to certify, it will cost US$69 for membership fees. then there are more fees to certify them.
My advice is not to certify them since it appears their value is less than the cost to become a member.
perhaps something like these can be used to protect them:

Aren't those notes from the 1950's? Common and not worth even the postage to send to the US.
They are available for sale on ebay for $1 to $5 each.

no, no, this banknote is not American, it is Brazilian, one of the first notes, it is from the beginning of the century, more or less 1910 to 1920.
I understand, thank you for your advice, but I don't just have these grades, I have about 160 more, I'll send it because I want the certificate.
They are not from 1910 to 1920. Brazil didn't switch to Cruzeiros until the 1940s. That note appears to be a Pick 157 issued from 1955-1958.
@jmlanzaf
I hope that you do not mind, but I have a question.
When I check this source, these notes appear to be P.151, as opposed to P.157.
What am I missing?
Note - I am NOT nitpicking your response. In fact, the opposite is true. I appreciate you posting about Cruzeiros and the "pick" numbers, because it is an opportunity for me to learn something new. Thank you.
BTW-welcome to the boards!
The bust is different isn't it? I'm not really sure, I looked quickly in my catalog but couldn't make it the signatures on the notes posted.
It will cost you about $5000 to certify 160 of these notes which will then be worth about $300.
@jmlanzaf I like your helpfulness and willingness to share. For this guy or gal

Do not know whether it is correct or not, but I was focusing on the red characters in the upper left and lower right. The P.157 notes appear to have additional lines that are not present in the P.151 notes.
If I cared more, I'd look more closely. Lol. It's either 151 or 157. Either way, it's 1950s vintage and $1 or $2
I learned something new. Thank You.
I am continually impressed by the breadth and depth of the knowledge base on this forum.
Am equally impressed with the generosity of members that are willing to share their knowledge with others.
I have to agree with 'jmlanzaf' re: the cost to grade the Brazilian Cruzados. Unless they truly are much older, are special serial numbers (or scarce signatures/prefixes), plus in much better condition than the ones pictured, I would save my money & just put them in regular currency sleeves. The notes pictured are too common to be shipping & slabbing IMO.
