About these units

Drachma (Biblical Greek) (drachma)

The drachma, roughly 4.3 grams, served as the principal Greek silver unit for centuries. Both a mass and a monetary unit, the drachma appears extensively in ancient writings, from philosophy to commerce to biblical passages. The term originates from "a handful," linking the weight to early barter practices. Over time, it became a symbol of civic identity—different city-states minted distinct drachmas with unique iconography. Its influence survives in the name of Greece's former national currency, the drachma, reinforcing its cultural legacy.

US Ton (Short) (ton (US))

The US short ton equals 2,000 pounds (907.18474 kilograms) and is widely used in American industry, shipping, mining, agriculture, and engineering. Its definition at 2,000 pounds makes calculations convenient within the imperial system but creates potential confusion internationally, where the metric ton is standard. In markets such as coal, steel, and chemicals, contracts often specify the unit explicitly to avoid ambiguity. The US ton's role in commercial regulation, freight classification, and manufacturing ensures that it remains deeply embedded in American economic activity despite the global rise of the metric system.
