I guess a pennyweight is an old English penny. I have a few of those. My father told me the story of how during the second world war he was managing a fabricating plant in London and they needed copper rolled to a very exact thickness. Only place that could do it was some la-de-da supplier to his majesty's Royal Mint, so the Ministry of Defense got my father's company an account there. He said that after the war he could drop the name to potential customers as proof of his company's soundness. He said that he tried to pay fro the copper when it came in, but they refused. Statements went out at the end of one month, to be paid at the end of the next. Other than that, it was an honour system (note the "u" in honour, this is an English story after all). Ahhh, the good old days. My father was now "One of us". Me dad was a works manager, his dad before him was a works manager, and so on. No works to manage now so I do this instead. Only lasting benefit to me is a finely tuned immune system and extreme biotic capacity from all those generations of industrial filth. CD
