..........lol.......not if you were about to be given a ton of gold though eh?.............better value from the good old Imperial ton, or even the metric tonne..............commoner.

But isn't gold weighed in troy ounces? (runs down the screaming...AAAAAAAAGH)

Bring Back Imperialism!

I think you mean emperialism

...not if you were about to be given a ton of gold though eh?...

Believe me, I'm not that greedy; if I can't readily transport it, I'll willingly take less (even a U.S. ton is a big chunk) lest I lose the whole thing in the attempt.

But isn't gold weighed in troy ounces? (runs down the screaming...AAAAAAAAGH)

Troy? I hope you don't mean Ilium. I wouldn't make it to Troy, NH, dragging 32000 ounces Avoirdupois on a hand cart, let alone to a place in Asia Minor that's going to tell me it's less than 29167 ounces Troy.
