Fils (currency)
The fils is a subdivision of currency used in many Arab countries, such as Kuwait, Iraq and Bahrain. The term is a modern retranscription of fals, an early medieval Arab coin.
"Fils" is the singular form in Arabic, not plural. The plural form of fils is fulūs ; the latter term can also refer to small amounts of money or to money in general in Egyptian Arabic and many other varieties of Arabic.
