Centass

Centass was a German measure of weight and was used in the Grand Duchy of Baden . The Baden pound was 500 grams and was part of the customs weight of the member states. Centaß means as much as Quentchen and the smaller measure Dekaß / Decaß was the pfenning.

1 quintals = 10 stones = 100 pounds = 1,000 tens = 10,000 cents = 100,000 pfennigs = 1,000,000 aces
1 centass = 10 decass = 100 Aß
