1 Bahrain dinar is subdivided into 1000 fils.
The Bahrain dinar (BHD) is the official currency for Bahrain, issued and managed by the Central Bank of Bahrain. Unlike most currencies which are subdivided into 100 parts the BHD is subdivided into 1000 parts, each of which is known as a fils.
Coins used:
5, 10, 25, 50, 100, BD ˝ (500 fils)
Banknotes used:
BD ˝, BD 1, BD 5, BD 10, BD 20

The 1000 part subdivision is likely due to the fact that each dinar is in fact one of the highest valued currency units in the world. In other words, a single dinar, when compared to single currency units of other countries, purchases the largest basket of other currencies or goods. This high value per unit therefore needing an everyday smaller multiple to facilitate smaller transactions, hence the 1000 fils per Bahrain dinar.
The word "fils" itself is commonly thought to be plural, yet the word is singular, though confusingly when referring to currency in multiple fils units, the singular is still used. For example, a 1 fils coin and a 5 fils coin use the same word.
The Central Bank of Bahrain has as its mandate the encouragement and growth of Bahrain as a center of finance for the world. This is accomplished thorough a variety of means all of which are somewhat unrelated to the exact value of the currency because the BHD is pegged to the IMF, which in effect makes the BHD pegged to the USD.
Currently the Bahrain dinar is circulated in coins in the following denominations: 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, BD ˝ (500 fils) and banknotes can be found in these denominations: BD ˝, BD 1, BD 5, BD 10, BD 20. When in Bahrain it is not unusual to see transactions priced in and made using the Saudi riyal. The riyal is accepted and used throughout Bahrain as openly as is the BHD.
