<p>[QUOTE="Hollyblue, post: 1668691, member: 1496"]Precious metals had always been measured in troy,it really didn't change until certain people in the government wanted metric to be the standard for the country. The gold and silver buying/selling craze started and people had easy access to gram scales and not dwt. scales. If you worked with troy measurement for many years you probably wouldn't think about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
