context_page_description: The mill or is a now-abstract unit of currency used sometimes in accounting. In the United States, it is a notional unit equivalent to ​¹⁄₁₀₀₀ of a United States dollar. In the United Kingdom it was proposed during the decades of discussion on the decimalisation of the pound as a ​¹⁄₁₀₀₀ division of the pound sterling. Several other currencies used the mill, such as the Maltese lira.
  The term comes from the Latin "millesimum", meaning "thousandth part".
context_section_description: The Palestine pound, used as the currency of the British Mandate for Palestine from 1927 to 1948, was divided into 1,000 mils. Its successor currencies, the Israeli lira and the Jordanian dinar, were also divided into ​¹⁄₁₀₀₀ units, respectively named the pruta and fils. The Israeli pruta lasted until 1960, and the Jordanian fils until 1992.
