A decigram is an SI-derived unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram (0.1 g), used for measuring small masses with high resolution.

What is the mina (Biblical Greek)?

The mina is an ancient mass unit used in Near Eastern and Greek contexts, varying by region, often used for weighing precious metals and recording large monetary values.

Why is this conversion useful?

It helps translate small modern mass values into ancient units, aiding historical research, archaeology, and biblical studies by linking modern and classical measurements.
