From a wood that was harvested by the Portuguese to be used as a dye for fabric in the early 1500's. The wood name was Pau Brasil, with a strong red colour. Nowadays it is almost extinguished, it was once all along the Brazilian coast. The Atlantic forest, that harboured such woods, was almost all deforestated in the colonisation of Brazil. because a tipical tree used by the portugueses to paint tissue of red, this tree was called "pau BRASIL"
Brazil is named after a tree (pau-brasil) from which Portuguese, during the colonization period, extracted red colored liquid to paint fabric.
More specifically the name Brazil comes from "brasa" that means ember, "brasil" being the collective noun, meaning an amount of embers.
When the Portuguese first arrived, they called the land "Ilha de Vera Cruz" (Vera Cruz Island). When they realized that this land was not an island, they changed it's name to "Terra de Santa Cruz" (Land of Santa Cruz). However, to avoid losing the territory that France was now interested in obtaining, they started to extract wood from a tree named "Pau-Brasil". Due to the extraction from this tree, they changed the lands name to "Brasil" (Brazil).

How much is a dollar worth from 1933?
It depends.
Does it say "exchangeable in gold" on it?
Its odd because before 1933 gold was the basis of the economy, but now you can't just go in and trade a dollar for gold. This means that the value of our dollar is now regulated by how much of it is in circulation. So, if some dollar bills get recalled by the U.S. mint, the value of our dollar goes up (I think) because there is not as much of it.
Just keep it as a souvenir, though I doubt that anyone in the world even has this bill.
CorrectionsPlease check your coin or bill again and post a new, separate question. A check of any number of sources will show that:(1) The US never issued either $1 coins or $1 bills in 1933 due to the Great Depression.
(2) The US never issued a $1 gold certificate. The lowest value was $5 in the 1870s.
(3) The Mint strikes coins, not bills.
(4) Neither the Treasury nor the Mint ever recalled any money except for Gold Certificates and gold coins.
