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. | The 20 ice mark note is 70 mm x 140 mm in size (2.75 in x 5.5 in).
