About these units
Didrachma (Biblical Greek) (didrachma)
The didrachma, weighing around 8.5–9 grams, represented two drachmas. It appears in Greek, Roman, and biblical texts, often as a common temple tax or civic fee amount. Its moderate size made it practical for everyday transactions, bridging smaller denominations and larger, more valuable coins such as tetradrachms. The didrachma's consistent appearance in multiple cultures shows how interconnected the ancient Mediterranean economies were.
Pennyweight (pwt)
The pennyweight, equal to 1/20 of a troy ounce or 1.55517384 grams, is a unit used primarily in the precious metals and jewelry industries. Its origins lie in medieval English coinage, when the weight of silver pennies provided a practical standard for small masses. Jewelers continue to use the pennyweight because many traditional pricing structures and metalworking conventions are built around troy-based subdivisions. For gold, silver, and dental alloys, the pennyweight remains easier to work with than grams due to long-established norms. Even though the metric system is now dominant scientifically, the pennyweight persists because industries tied to history—especially those involving money and precious goods—tend to maintain deeply rooted practices.
