WHAT ABOUT A TROY POUND?
There’s also something called a troy pound, which is used exclusively to weigh precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. A troy pound equals 373 grams—about 100 grams lighter than the standard pound you’d use in the kitchen. Unless you're baking with gold (no judgment), you’ll probably never need to worry about it!
