Yes, which is also a unit of weight. If you want to stick with imperial measurements, then the unit of weight is the pound-force (lbf).

We're not talking about the unit of CURRENCY that is going to plummet soon on account of brexit.

Used in the context you were using it in implies a measure of mass, not weight. Thanks.

@1,028,457 (Svet !jzYkdX7lIw) > force
(That's how you ascertain weight.)

Not always because you can use Newtons in electrical formulas

Correct, but weight is not the same as mass. Weight (force) is mass x acceleration (which near the Earth's surface is around 10 metres per second per second).
SI unit of mass: kg
SI unit of weight: N = kg.m.s^-2

did no one think to put them on a balance scale?

What do you know? Electrical force using Newtons force of motion is used in electrical engineering.

What do I know? I know this:
Newton's laws of motion may be used to analyze the motion of objects moving as a result of an electrical force, e.g. static charge - they don't measure the electrical charge itself. They are related via Coulomb's law:
F = k.Q1.Q2/d^2, where k is Coulomb's constant = 9.0 x 10^9 N.m^2.C^-2
When talking about electrical charge you use Coulombs. When talking about gravitational force (weight) you use Newtons.
