What is a mina in biblical terms?

A mina in Biblical Hebrew is an ancient unit of mass used primarily for weighing precious metals and goods, with its actual weight varying regionally and over time.

What does quadrans represent in Roman measurements?

The quadrans was a small Roman bronze coin whose mass acted as a minor unit in the Roman monetary and weight system, representing one quarter of an as.

Why might conversion accuracy vary between mina and quadrans?

Because the mina's mass changed historically and the quadrans coins can vary in weight due to wear and production differences, exact conversions are approximate.
