Nothing sits between "milhão" and "reais," so the "de" is mandatory: writing "um milhão reais" falls short of the notarial standard.

currency amount in words legal document
A poorly written amount in words is not just clumsy, it is grounds for a notary's requirement or a challenge from the opposing party: skipping a required word before the noun is a real gap, and the converter covers exactly that plus two other rules that often slip through.
Nothing sits between "milhão" and "reais," so the "de" is mandatory: writing "um milhão reais" falls short of the notarial standard.
Here "milhão" is no longer next to "reais," "duzentos mil" sits in between, so the "de" drops out.
The Portuguese output needs two "e"s for two different reasons, but the English version keeps only the one joining the whole amount to the cents ("three thousand five hundred Brazilian reais and fifty centavos"), since English never uses "and" inside the number itself.
The tool supports values up to the trillions (10^12). Very large values may have reduced precision, so review the result carefully in those cases.
Because it is missing the word "de," mandatory in Portuguese whenever "milhão," "bilhão" or "trilhão" sits immediately before the noun it quantifies. The correct form is "um milhão de reais," the same way Portuguese requires "dois milhões de habitantes," never "dois milhões habitantes."
It works for both, and also for fee agreements and powers of attorney with transactional authority. A notary's office usually requires the amount in words next to the digits precisely to make later tampering with the number harder.
Yes, currency mode covers BRL, USD and EUR with each one's own singular and plural, including the euro's cent being called "cêntimo" in the Portuguese output. The "de" rule from a million up applies the same way to all three, since it is a Portuguese grammar rule, not a currency-specific one.
