In Germany we've got 'Unze' (ounce) which is defined as ~30g which we only use when talking about precious metals. What we do use is 'Pfund' (pounds lbs) which is defined as 500g. I am amazed the nations of the world actually came to an agreement about what to use as base units and I can't even fathom what shit show it must've been before that. I live a 30min drive away from the Netherlands and your ounce is already 230% more then my ounce.
