The mill or mille (₥) (sometimes mil in the UK, when discussing property taxes in the United States, or previously in Cyprus and Malta) is a now-abstract unit of currency used sometimes in accounting. In the United States, it is a notional unit equivalent to ⁄₁₀₀₀ of a United States dollar ((a one-hundredth of a dime) or a tenth of a cent). In the United Kingdom it was proposed during the decades of discussion on the decimalization of the pound as a ⁄₁₀₀₀ division of the pound sterling. Several other currencies used the mill, such as the Maltese lira.
