Is poundal a unit of mass or force?

Poundal is a unit of force defined in the foot–pound–second system, not a mass unit.

What does the mina (Biblical Greek) represent?

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

Can I get an exact conversion between poundal and mina?

Exact conversions are approximate because poundal measures force and mina is a mass unit, and the mina's weight varied historically.
