No....the AV pound is heavier.
The Troy ounce is heavier than a AV ounce but there are only 12
troy ounces in a Troy pound compared to 16 in a AV pound.
There is an old joke...What is heavier, a pound of Gold or a
pound of feathers...?
The pound of feathers...
Because the troy pound of Gold is measured in Troy...which has a
lighter pound.
