About these units
Mina (Biblical Greek) (mina (G))
The Greek mina weighed roughly 430 grams, depending on region. As with the Hebrew mina, it served as the intermediate mass unit within the Greek system. Minas appear frequently in classical literature for describing wages, commodity prices, and financial penalties. Their role in ancient bookkeeping showcases the organization of Greek economic life. A mina was traditionally divided into 100 drachmae, linking weight with monetary valuation.
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.
