How many ounces are in a pound of gold?

Answer 1

1 troy ounce = 31,103 476 8 grams = 0,083 329 32 pound troy

Answer 2

There are 16 ounces in a pound no matter what it is a pound of.

Not technically true. 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.
