ha ha yourself! the ounce is different, too!:
"1 pound (troy) = 12 ounces (troy) = 240 pennyweights (troy) = 373.24177 grams
1 pound (avdp) = 14.5833 ounces (troy) = 291.66 pennyweights (troy) = 453.5924 grams
1 ounce (troy) = 20 pennyweights (troy) = 31.10348 grams = 480 grains
1 ounce (avdp) = 18.23 pennyweights (troy) = 28.3495 grams = 437.5 grains
1 ounce (troy) = 1.09714 ounces (avdp)
1 ounce (avdp) = 09.115 ounce (troy) = 16 drams
1 pound (troy) = 0.822857 pound (avdp)
1 pound (advp) = 1.21528 pounds (troy)"

a pound of gold is only 12 ounces therefore a pound of feathers is heavier. gold is 12 ounces per pound.

a pound is a pound is a pound. But I'd rather hold the gold.

both are equally heavy but the distribution of weight will be favourable in the case of the feather
