The Ounces that precious metals are measured in are "Troy" ounces (31.103g). The Troy ounce is not the same as avoirdupois ounce (apple ounce(28.35g)) nor is it the same as the fluid ounce (29.57g).

Since they have been using the Troy ounce for precious metals since the middle ages, it is not likely to change to another unit of measurement (such as the gram) in our lifetimes.
