About these units
Quarter (US) (qr (US))
The US quarter equals 25 pounds, serving as a smaller commercial subdivision of the hundredweight. It was used for pricing agricultural goods, livestock feed, and some industrial materials. Its convenience arises from the fact that four quarters make a hundredweight, simplifying scaling between small and medium quantities. Today it is mostly of historical interest, but agricultural economists still encounter it when analyzing archival data.
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.
