 " Teso Dos Bichos " was taken by John Shiban , the episode 's writer , from an ancient chant . The words translate into archaic Portuguese as " Burial Mound of Small Animals , " although other translations have been proposed . In Colombia and Venezuela , the word " bichos " is a euphemism for testicles , something Shiban was unaware of when writing the script . Shiban later joked that this " controversy " would be good for ratings .

 The financial operations made in dollars were subject to a strong currency substitution to pesos , the " pesification " . There were disputes over the exchange rate of such substitution , as the current price of the dollar in the open market would force most firms and individual debtor to bankruptcy . The initial policy was to make 1 to 1 substitutions to the operations below 100 @,@ 000 dollars . Another conflict was the corralito , imposed by De la Rúa , which attempted to stop the bank run by forbidding the withdrawal of money from bank accounts . Duhalde promised in his oath of office speech that " The one who deposited dollars will receive dollars " . The minister of economy Jorge Remes Lenicov pointed out that that would be impossible , as the amount of dollars required was higher than even the foreign @-@ exchange reserves of the Central Bank . Duhalde acknowledged two weeks later that he was mistaken . The bank accounts in dollars would be " pesified " at a 1 @.@ 4 exchange rate , and the state financed the banks for the different rates with other operations . The taxes of public services were " pesified " and fixed at their current values . Most industries benefited from the " pesification " and the devaluation , as they could now export at higher prices , and the economy started to improve . The jump in the international price of soybean in July 2002 also proved highly beneficial . The devaluation also increased the price of imported products , which allowed import substitution industrialization . As the local prices became cheap in dollars , international tourism to the country was increased . The national state absorbed the debts of the provinces and the bonds used as alternative currency , on the condition that they transferred the power to issue bonds .

 By the middle of the 19th century , the Empire of Brazil was the richest and most powerful nation in Latin America . It thrived under democratic institutions and a constitutional monarchy , and prided itself on the absence of the caudillos , dictators and coups d 'état which were common across the rest of the continent . During the minority of emperor Pedro II in the 1830s , however , there had been internal rebellions driven by local disputes for power within a few provinces . One of these , the Ragamuffin War , had been led by Gonçalves , as noted above .

 The imposition of the metric system resulted in demonstrations in the northeast during 1874 . Metric weights and measures were destroyed by peasants , and land and tax records were burned . The movement was called Quebra Quilo ( " Smash the Kilos " ) and did not have any lasting impact — although it illustrated popular dissatisfaction and was an embarrassment to the government . "
