   Syn: Actual; true; genuine; authentic.

   Usage: Real, Actual. Real represents a thing to be a
          substantive existence; as, a real, not imaginary,
          occurrence. Actual refers to it as acted or performed;
          and, hence, when we wish to prove a thing real, we
          often say, "It actually exists," "It has actually been
          done." Thus its reality is shown by its actuality.
          Actual, from this reference to being acted, has
          recently received a new signification, namely,
          present; as, the actual posture of affairs; since what
          is now in action, or going on, has, of course, a
          present existence. An actual fact; a real sentiment.

4. The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
Real \Re"al\ (r[=e]"al), n. [Sp., fr. real royal, L. regalis.
   See Regal, and cf. Ree a coin.]
   A former small Spanish silver coin; also, a denomination of
   money of account, formerly the unit of the Spanish monetary
   system.
   [1913 Webster]

   Note: A

   real of plate (coin) varied in value according to the time
      of its coinage, from 121/2 down to 10 cents, or from 61/2
      to 5 pence sterling. The

   real vellon, or money of account, was nearly equal to five
      cents, or 21/2 pence sterling. In 1871 the coinage of
      Spain was assimilated to that of the Latin Union, of which
      the franc is the unit. The peseta was introduced in 1868,
      and continued as the official currency of Spain (splitting
      temporarily into Nationalist and Republican pesetas during
      the civil war of the 1930's) until 2002. In 2002, the euro
      became the official currency of Spain and most other
      nations of the European Union.

8. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
REAL. A term which is applied to land in its most enlarged signification. 
Real security, therefore, means the security of mortgages or other 
incumbrances affecting lands. 2 Atk. 806; S. C. 2 Ves. sen. 547. 
     2. In the civil law, real has not the same meaning as it has in the 
common law. There it signifies what relates to a thing, whether it be 
movable or immovable, lands or goods; thus, a real injury is one which is 
done to a thing, as a trespass to property, whether it be real or personal 
in the common law sense. A real statute is one which relates to a thing, in 
contradistinction to such as relate to a person,
