Why do mina weights vary historically?

The mina unit differed by region and period, with no single universal standard, so weights assigned to it changed over time.

Is the stone (UK) commonly used outside the UK and Ireland?

No, the stone is mainly informal and primarily used in the UK and Ireland for expressing human body weight.

Can this tool be used for precise financial calculations in ancient texts?
