Coin CollectingQuestions and Answers InformationTopic:The difference in Weight of "Troy Pounds" versus "Regular Pounds" (Avoirupois).
Coin Collector Question:
Is a Troy pound and our normal grocery store
(avoirdupois) pound the same or equal? I'm thinking that
the two pounds are just divided up differently. I
understand that (troy and avoirdupois) ounces are not equal, but I'm
thinking the pounds are equal, is that correct?
Lynn Coins' Answer: Good question. The best way to compare "pounds" is to look at how many "grams" are in each pound.
A troy pound contains 12 "troy" ounces. Each troy ounce weighs about 31.1 grams. Therefore a troy pound (containing 12 troy ounces) weighs about 373 grams
An avoirdupois pound contains 16 "avoirdupois" ounces. Each avoirdupois ounce weighs fewer grams per ounce, about 28.35 grams. Although an avoirdupois ounce weighs less than a troy ounce, there are more avoirdupois ounces in an avoirdupois pound. An avoirdupois pound (containing 16 avoirdupois ounces) weighs about 453 grams.
The result is that a avoirdupois "pound" is heavier (453 grams) than a troy "pound" (373 grams).
Note that troy pounds are lighter than avoirdupois pounds, partially because troy pounds contain 12 ounces rather than 16 ounces. However, troy ounces are heavier than avoirdupois ounces. For a greater explanation see our related article "A Troy Ounce is More than an Ounce".
