About Short Hundredweights
A short hundredweight (cwt, US cwt) equals exactly 100 pounds or approximately 45.359 kg. Used primarily in the United States for commodity trading, it represents the practical 'hundred-pound' unit for measuring coal, agricultural produce, livestock feed, and industrial materials. Commodity markets for cattle, hogs, and grain in the US price their products per hundredweight ($/cwt or $/100 lb). Steel and non-ferrous metal quotations in North America are commonly expressed in dollars per short hundredweight. The 'short' modifier distinguishes it from the UK long hundredweight (112 lb).
About Tolas
A tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass equal to the weight of a silver rupee coin - approximately 11.664 grams. It was the standard unit for weighing gold and silver across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh for centuries, and remains actively used in gold jewellery markets throughout the subcontinent. Gold is routinely priced and bought in tolas at jewellers' shops (sarrafas) in India and Pakistan. A 10-tola gold bar (116.64 g) is the most popular retail gold bar size in South Asia and the Middle East.
