Questions about this tool
Why does the Kuwaiti dinar take 3 decimals?
One Kuwaiti dinar is 1000 fils. The Bahraini dinar is the same, and the Omani rial is 1000 baisa.
What is invoice style?
Each word starts with a capital and the line ends with Only, a common Gulf invoice habit that stops anything being added.
Halala or halalas?
Halala for one and halalas for any other count. Fils and baisa stay the same in singular and plural.
