The falus was a bronze/copper currency of Morocco.

Minted between 1672–1901, denominations of 1⁄4, 1⁄2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 falus are recorded in the Standard Catalogue.^[1]

Identification

[edit]

They are typically denominated by size rather than by inscription, and can be difficult to identify precisely.^{[original research?]}

Depreciation

[edit]

From 1862, the falus was allowed to float, while the exchange rate for the silver dirham was fixed: this resulted in currency speculation and depreciation, with effectively two parallel currencies.^[2]
