Tona

Tona is a traditional unit of measurement used primarily in Liberia and some parts of West Africa to quantify weight, especially for commodities like gold, diamonds, and other precious materials. It is roughly equivalent to 10 grams or about one-third of a traditional ounce. The Tona helps standardize transactions and trade, ensuring clarity when measuring small amounts of valuable items. Though not globally recognized, Tona is important locally for facilitating fair exchange and commerce within the region's markets and industries.
