About these units
Decigram (dg)
A decigram equals 1/10 of a gram and appears in older scientific literature, pharmaceutical compounding, and some food chemistry applications. Today, milligrams and grams are more common, but decigrams still offer practical value when describing masses that naturally fall between these scales, such as certain supplements or cosmetic ingredients. The decigram remains a reminder of the metric system's logical progression, offering users a consistent, scalable set of units.
Lepton (Biblical Roman) (lepton)
The lepton, one of the smallest denominations used in Judea under Roman rule, weighed roughly 0.1–0.2 grams. It is best known from the biblical story of the Widow's Mite, representing humility and sacrificial giving. As both a coin and a mass, the lepton represents the minimal economic unit of the ancient Near East.
