About these units
Megagram (Mg)
A megagram, equal to 1,000 kilograms, is identical in quantity to the metric ton (tonne). While "tonne" is common in daily life, Mg is preferred in engineering, environmental science, and formal scientific writing because it is unambiguous and adheres strictly to SI conventions. Megagrams are used to express masses of vehicles, construction materials, waste output, or agricultural yields in large-scale analyses. The unit is especially useful in Earth sciences, where megagram quantities describe biomass, sediment transport, or volcanic emissions.
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.
