About these units
Dekagram (dag)
A dekagram, equal to 10 grams, is used more commonly in parts of Europe, particularly in culinary contexts such as baking or meat sales. Its size is practical for recipes, nutrition labeling, and small food packages. It avoids large numbers in grams without jumping to the heftier hectogram or kilogram. While less familiar in English-speaking countries, the dekagram is valued in regions where metric cooking traditions are strong.
Didrachma (Biblical Greek) (didrachma)
The didrachma, weighing around 8.5–9 grams, represented two drachmas. It appears in Greek, Roman, and biblical texts, often as a common temple tax or civic fee amount. Its moderate size made it practical for everyday transactions, bridging smaller denominations and larger, more valuable coins such as tetradrachms. The didrachma's consistent appearance in multiple cultures shows how interconnected the ancient Mediterranean economies were.
