What is a Pennyweight? Silver weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The pennyweight (1.55517 g, one twentieth of a troy ounce) is the unit American jewellers and scrap buyers still quote in. One pennyweight equals 1.55517 grams, or 0.05000 troy ounces, which at today's silver spot price works out to — VND.
Where it is used. Repair work, casting weights and scrap gold offers in the US are almost always priced per pennyweight rather than per gram. The unit is the trading standard in United States jewellery trade.
Pricing conventions. A scrap buyer quoting per dwt is quoting on a unit roughly 1.5 times a gram, so always convert before comparing with an online per-gram offer. Silver is bulkier per unit of value, so quotes in small traditional units are usually a conversion, while real trade happens in kilogram and 1 000 oz bars.
Good to know. The name survives from the medieval English penny, which literally weighed one pennyweight of silver.

Buying Silver in Vietnam: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per pennyweight, the price you see here is the international XAG spot price converted into Vietnamese Dong. Physical buyers in Vietnam pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, dominated by SJC. Buyers there generally watch the SJC posted buy and sell price in dong per tael as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium are marginal retail markets with limited licensed supply. Silver is bulkier and cheaper per unit, so shipping, storage and consumption taxes matter far more to the final price than they do for gold. That is why the shop price of silver in VND can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same pennyweight of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Vietnam are SJC and DOJI branches, licensed bank gold counters, PNJ jewellery stores and online dealers. The products most often quoted locally include SJC 1 tael (lượng) bars, chi and phan jewellery pieces, 9999 rings.
Local conventions. Vietnamese gold is measured in lượng (37.5 g) and chi (3.75 g); SJC-branded bars often trade at a large premium to world prices. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per pennyweight with the live silver price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline VND quote.
