The fils (Arabic alphabet: فلس) is a subdivision of currency used in many Arab countries, such as Iraq. "Fils" is the singular form in Arabic, not the 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 fils

- 1 Jordanian dinar = 1000 fils
- 1 Kuwaiti dinar = 1000 fils
- 1 United Arab Emirates dirham = 100 fils
