What is a mina (Biblical Hebrew)?

It is an ancient Near Eastern unit of mass used for weighing precious metals and goods, with its actual weight varying regionally and historically.

What does the US assay ton represent?

The assay ton is a historic mining mass unit used to standardize sample weights for precious metal content reporting, varying by jurisdiction and practice.

Why do conversions between mina and assay ton vary?

Because both units have historically variable mass standards, conversions should consider regional and temporal differences along with modern standardization.
