* Actually, the answer \\\"they both weigh the same\\\" is \\\'\\\'wrong\\\'\\\'. Precious metals are weighed in the troy system (troy ounce=31.1 g, troy pound=12 troy ounce=373 g), just about everything else in the avoirdupois system (avoirdupois ounce=28.4 g, avoirdupois pound=16 avoirdupois ounce=454 g). So an ounce of gold weighs more than an ounce feathers, but a pound of gold weighs less than a pound of feathers.
[Okay, it\\\'s already mentioned in the page.]
