Richard:

Which leads to the old joke:

Which weighs more, a pound of gold or a pound of feathers.

Given that a troy ounce is 31.1 grams and an avoirdupois ounce is 28.3
grams, the answer is obvious, a pound of feathers!

There are only 12 troy ounces in a troy pound, so a troy pound is only
373.24 grams and an avoirdupois pound (16 ounces) is 453.59 grams.

Isn't metric wonderful?

At least we do not use stone!
