    Some people who subsequently commented online said the larger notes would make it easier for lawbreakers to hide bigger amounts of money. Others added that ordinary people would find it hard to break them for change. Image Credit: REUTERS

    Some 66 million people, 30% of the population, have been getting 600 reais ($110) a month, making it the most ambitious social program ever undertaken in Brazil, a shocking shift under President Jair Bolsonaro who railed against welfare, dismissed the virus - and now finds himself newly popular.
