Common Mistakes to Avoid
⚠️
Using avoirdupois oz for precious metals
Gold and silver prices are in TROY ounces (31.1 g), not regular (avoirdupois) ounces (28.35 g). Using the wrong conversion leads to significant pricing errors.
⚠️
Confusing fluid ounces and weight ounces
A fluid ounce (fl oz) measures volume; a weight ounce (oz) measures mass. 1 fl oz of water weighs approximately 1 oz, but this doesn't hold for other liquids.
⚠️
Rounding too early in multi-step conversions
Keep full precision through all calculation steps; only round the final answer.
