7. Talents, minas, and shekels were basically units of weight. The ratio of one
   to the others varied in the different civilisations in which they were used.
   But broadly speaking, a talent was equivalent to about 60 minas, and a mina
   to about 60 shekels. Since on average a mina weighed about half a kilogram,
   a talent weighed about 30 kgs. The value of each of these measures
   depended on the nature of the metal of which they consisted. Thus a talent
   of gold was much more valuable than a talent of silver, or a talent of bronze.
