Fils (currency)

The fils ( Arabic alphabet: فلس) is a subdivision of currency used in many Arab countries, such as 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 (as its final consonant might indicate to an English speaker). The plural form of fils is fulūs (فلوس); this latter term is also used to refer to small amount of money or money in general in many varieties of Arabic, particularly Egyptian

  • 1 Bahraini dinar = 1000 fulūs (or 1 filis = 1/1000 Bahraini dinars)
  • 1 Emirati dirham = 100 fulus
  • 1 Iraqi dinar = 1000 fulūs
  • 1 Jordanian dinar = 1000 fulūs
  • 1 Kuwaiti dinar = 1000 fulūs
  • 1 Yemeni rial = 100 fulūs

Fils (river)

The Fils is a 63 km long river in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, a right tributary of the Neckar.

Its source is in the Swabian Alb hills near Wiesensteig. It flows through Geislingen (Steige) and Göppingen to join the Neckar in Plochingen, east of Stuttgart. Due to the contribution of the Fils, the Neckar is navigable from there.
