Questions and answers

Treasury Questions and Answers

Why did medieval treasuries use balance scales to check coins?
Coins were often shaved or worn down, so weighing them on a scale verified their actual metal content rather than relying only on face value.
How did balance scales maintain accuracy during trade?
Scales used a central pivot called a fulcrum, ensuring that equal weights on both hanging pans caused the beam to sit perfectly horizontal.
