Avoirdupois pound is known as UK pound. Troy pound is known as US pound. So it depends on pre-agreed type of pound to use. 1 Avoirdupois pound equals to 1.2 troy, difference of 4 ounces, thus in terms of large significant figures, the difference is much. Usually its US pound that is being used, unless you are in EU. You buying gold issit? :)

Ming,

You're not getting a heavyset Efik tribeswoman as bride are you? :D

I ran a couple of quick searches, how would you like to get technical?:

avoirdupois

n 1: a system of weights based on the 16-ounce pound (or 7,000 grains)

"The standard Avoirdupois pound of the United States is equivalent to the weight of 27.7015 cubic inches of distilled water at 62 deg Fahrenheit, the barometer being at 30 inches, and the water weighed in the air with brass weights.

In this system of weights 16 drams make 1 ounce, 16 ounces 1 pound, 25 pounds 1 quarter, 4 quarters 1 hundred weight, and 20 hundred weight 1 ton.

The above pound contains 7,000 grains, or 453.54 grams, so that 1 pound avoirdupois is equivalent to 1 31-144 pounds troy. Formerly, a hundred weight was reckoned at 112 pounds, the ton being 2,240 pounds (sometimes called a long ton)"
