We were talking about currencies and how they break into coins when the subject arose regarding the purchasing power of our local Kuwaiti coin. We racked our brains and realized the cheapest thing we can come up with is a loaf of Iranian bread for 20 fils! So the 20 fils can purchase something, the 1 fils is rarely seen anymore. What about the 5 fils coin?
Do you have any idea on things we can purchase with a 5 fils coin? That we can actually pay for them with the 5 fils?
والله صعبه ب5 فلس… 10 فلس ممكن… على قولت رفيجي كانوا أول لمن يشترون بفك من البقاله يحطون وياه دقوس ب10 فلس… ما أدري اذا في أحد للحين يسوي جذي
10 floos daqoos? Zain wallah… 7eta 10 floos ma menha fayda hal ayam!
hmm interesting question…5 and 10 fils…nmaybe in the past when the world was cheaper..now I think u can only use it to make up the 1.975 kinda totals I guess…
Maybe but then how useless it would be if we keep getting 5 fils coins?
Whats with you & the coins ? loOol
Well I’m not sure what can we buy in this amount !!
I think it might be better to cancel it as they did with 1 fils
No more coin post for the next two months hhhhh
I just have a ton of them lying around, they are driving me mad :p
LoooooooooooooooL
loool please don’t be some people don’t have what you have
so if you don’t need them you always can donate to poor people
don’t say FASHLA !!
There is nothing wrong with it its call money , or put them in
the jars where there collecting coins to give it up to
jam3eyat 5aireyah if you wish to get rid of them .
:O)
box of cucumber in summer for 10 fils
9ej? It is for 10 fils? mo 9ar ib 500?
Then the 10 has a value. The 5 is totally useless!
Fe el 3elch elburtqaaaali elle yinba3 bil baqaalaa wel fer3! Lol etha ma kint ghal6ana eb 5Fils! ;p
9ej?! I must go check it out! I remember it a7ebah!
collect 3 (5) fils and donate a meal for africans in al3on elmobasher (abdulrahman alsumait charity org.)
collect 4 (5) fils and buy khobza eranya 😉
I guess the 15 fils does mean something after all.
gabil i used to buy something like gum… now gum is over 100 fils
so sad – kilshay wayid ghali!
You know shino ey7ir? I remember wayid chocolates in the jam3iya from my childhood and they were priced at 50 or 100 fils.. and then discontinued from here…and came back as kakaw landan and sold for obscene prices.
Ams i craved maltesears…. i remember it being 100 fils…i got it for 220 ams… laaish!?
So I cannot think of anything to do with a mere 5 fils
I remember when I wanted to buy a lousy pack of m&m’s and the cashier said 250 fils!
I was like what? when did that happen exactly?!
El deniya naar!
I’m guessing you can buy one quarter of an iranian loaf..or can ya..?
Unless they are cutting it into quarters I dont suppose so. Not a bad idea though!
