Talent 
A talent of pure gold is in weight equivalent to 125 lbs. troy. The common talent weighed sixty pounds, but the sacred talent was double, and weighed one hundred and twenty pounds. A talent of gold amounted to 5067 pounds, three shillings and ten pence of British money (Assuming a troy weight of 12 ounces to a pound, and an ounce of gold worth $400 U.S., then a talent would be worth about $600,000).
  • Eq: (125 x 12) = $1,500 x $400 = $600,000
