This is one of those words in English that can mean different things depending on context. You might say something like "Don't worry; I have a few dollars in my pocket" and you would mean that you have some money-- maybe even a lot depending on how you say it. But if you read "There are few job opportunities for rag collectors these days" you would mean that there is a very small number, if any at all. Usually, "a few" would mean "some".

By itself, "few" would usually mean "a very small amount, if any".
