The tola is a traditional unit of mass used across the Indian subcontinent for precious metals and spices. One tola is exactly 11.6638 grams (internationally standardised). In the Indian system: 1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti. It remains the standard gold-trading unit quoted by jewellers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and across Gulf markets that serve South Asian buyers.
The US short ton (commonly just "ton" in American usage) equals exactly 2,000 avoirdupois pounds or approximately 907.18474 kilograms. It is the standard bulk commodity unit for coal, steel, cement, and freight in the United States. The "short" qualifier distinguishes it from the UK long ton (2,240 lb) and metric ton (1,000 kg).
The tola derives from Sanskrit tola, from tul (to weigh, to balance). It was the official precious-metal unit under British India, defined as the mass of the silver rupee coin (~11.66 g). Indian rupees were minted to exactly 1 tola weight. After independence, India officially adopted the metric system in 1956 for gold trading, but the tola survived in the market. The UAE, a major gold trading hub, still quotes prices per tola.
Interesting fact: India is one of the world's largest gold consumers. A tola bar of 24-karat gold (≈11.66 g, worth ~$700 at 2024 gold prices) is one of the most popular physical gold investment formats in South Asia.
The short ton emerged in the United States as commerce adopted 2,000 pounds as a round-number bulk standard, diverging from the British 2,240-lb long ton. It was codified in the US Customary system in the 19th century. US coal production, steel output, and grain yields are still reported in short tons domestically, though international trade uses metric tons. The US is one of only three countries (with Myanmar and Liberia) not officially on the metric system.
Interesting fact: A fully loaded standard US freight car carries approximately 100 short tons of cargo. The US historically produced ~1 billion short tons of coal per year; modern US coal consumption has fallen to about 400–500 million short tons annually.
