The 20 ice mark note is 70 mm x 140 mm in size (2.75 in x 5.5 in). It is printed on 75% cotton rag, 25% linen paper, the same fiber content as that of American banknotes. It contains red and blue fibers, has a weight of 85 GSM (grams per square meter) making it only slightly more dense/ heavy that typical office copy paper, and has no optical brighteners. Although the paper itself is waterproof and acid-free, the toner/ ink used for the production of the notes on this paper may be dissolved using certain aprotic solvents. | The 20 ice mark note is 70 mm x 140 mm in size (2.75 in x 5.5 in).

Devoid of the toner/ ink, however, the paper has neither commercial nor symbolic/ economic value. | ||
