The ice mark was originally planned to be a paper version of the Westarctican Dollar, which had previously only been produced in the form of [[Coins of Westarctica|metal coinage]]. Considering the great demand among collectors for paper currency, as well as the prestige brought from having high-quality banknotes, [[Grand Duke Travis]] created the office of [[Commissioner of the Treasury]] to manage the design and production process for the new notes. | The ice mark was originally planned to be a paper version of the [[Westarctican Dollar]], which had previously only been produced in the form of [[Coins of Westarctica|metal coinage]].

The name "ice mark" was decided upon through a collaborative process during a meeting of the [[Royal Council]] in August 2018. Most ministers agreed that the "dollar" was a dated term linked exclusively with American money, and a different name would be help set apart Westarctica's banknotes as unique. Their Lordships, the [[Count of Goldstream]] and the [[Baron of Bastanchury]] were the primary creators of the name and it was swiftly approved by the Grand Duke. | The name "ice mark" was decided upon through a collaborative process during a meeting of the [[Royal Council]] in August 2018.
