Actually, precious metals (gold, silver, platimun, & palladium) are measured in troy weight. One troy ounce is about 1.097 (avoirdupois - what we normally use in the U.S.) ounces, and one troy pound is 12 troy ounces. Therefore, one pound of gold (troy) is equal to about .824 pounds (avoirdupois). One pound of gold weighs only .824 times as much as a pound of feathers....or lead.
An ounce of Gold Weighs more. An ounce of gold weighs 2.7539537 grams more, than an ounce of feathers. Gold is weighed in Troy ounces and feathers are weighed in standard ounces. There are 31.1034768 grams in 1 Troy ounce and there are 28.3495231 grams in 1 standard ounce.
