1944 20 Centavo Philippines US Administration

Obverse

Weight 4 grams
Silver
Purity 75%

One thing I notice about the American minted coins are the weight are easier to calculate because of their measurement system unlike the British but I still don't get why are gold and silver still calculated in Oz.
