Units explained
Mina (Biblical Greek)
The Greek mina was about 0.34 kg, one-sixtieth of a talent (100 drachmae).
Adopted from Near-Eastern metrology into the Greek system.
Hellenistic and New Testament commerce.
A standard sub-unit of the Greek talent.
Decigram
A decigram (dg) equals 0.0001 kilogram, or 0.1 gram.
From the SI prefix 'deci-' (from Latin 'decimus', tenth).
Occasional laboratory and pharmacy use.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 mina to dg:
1 × 3400 = 3400 dg
Example 2 — Convert 100 mina to dg:
100 × 3400 = 340000 dg
Real-world example — Sub-meter precision
A 0.001-mina (biblical greek) (1 mm) tolerance equals 1,000 decigrams — useful for surface-finish specs, where macro-scale dimensions are given in the larger unit but feature roughness in the smaller.
0.001 mina × 3400 = 3.4 dg
Real-world example — Macro-to-micro scale comparison
2 minas (biblical greek) of measurement converts to a very large number in decigrams — useful in materials science when comparing bulk-sample dimensions to feature-level surface specs.
2 mina × 3400 = 6800 dg
Real-world example — Macroscopic to microscopic
One mina (biblical greek) equals a million decigrams. Optical engineers calculating coherence length compare macro-scale path lengths with micro-scale wavelength differences using exactly this conversion.
1 mina × 3400 = 3400 dg
