But here is the tricky part.  If you ask which weighs more - a POUND of feathers or a POUND of gold, then the pound of feathers weighs more.  Gold is measured in troy weight, adn there are only 12 ounces to the pound, whereas feathers use 16 ounces to the pound.

A 1/4  troy oz. gold Britannia has a diameter of 22mm . \n\nA 1/4 troy oz. American gold eagle has a diameter of 22 mm .\n\nA 1/4 troy oz. gold Krugerrand has a diameter of 22 mm .\n\nAll three are about 7/8" ( the size of a nickel) and have a gold weight of 7.776 grams but their actual weight will vary as they are all alloyed differently. Pure 24 karat gold is much to soft for coins or jewelry and is always alloyed with metals like silver, nickel, copper, etc..\n\n.999 (24 k) gold can be bought in bar form unalloyed.

I remember being told that a gram is approx the weight of a paperclip.  So unless you are weighing very small, light things I'd go w/kilogram.

A pound of cotton is heavier than a pound of gold.\n\nAn ounce of gold is heavier than an ounce of cotton.\n\nPrecious metals are measured using a different system (the Troy system) than most other things.  In this system, the ounce is slightly larger but the pound contains fewer ounces.\n\nLook up Troy weight on Wikipedia to get the exact difference.

10 pounds of feathers are heavier than 10 pounds of gold!  \n\nHowever, an ounce of gold is heavier than an ounce of feathers.\n\nThis is a pretty cool riddle.  Precious metals are measured using the Troy system (instead of our regular system).  This system has 12 Troy ounces to the Troy pound instead of 16 regular ounces to the regular pound.  The Troy ounce is a 10% larger than the regular ounce, but the regular pound has 25% more ounces so the net result is that the regular pound weighs more.

1 kg = 2.2 lb. Weight in kg x 2.2 lb/1kg gives the answer in pounds. If you need ounces, then just multiply by 16 ounces/1 lb.
