I think is 20NT> Because there is 20 1nt and there is more dense.

Density is the mass per unit of volume which is the amount of matter in a set amount of space .
If two objects are made of the same material they should have the same density.
In Taiwan we only have 1, 5 , 10 ,and 50 NT$ coins .
However only the 1 NT$ coin is made of a different material to the others .
A stack of 5 , 10 or 50 coins would have the same density , only the one NT$coin would have a different density.

American space agency Nasa said the Messenger probe flew just 200km above Mercury's equator, getting close-up shots of the planet's rocky surface.

The first of the images being beamed back to Earth have already revealed newly discovered cliffs.

The mission is the second of three planned for the Messenger probe.

No,I don't think matter can disappear.
Matter can change shape and take up different amounts of volume , it can even change state i.e:change from solid to gas .
For example: I can take a piece of paper crumple it up . It has change shape but it is still matter .
I can put the paper in water and it will break apart in to very very small pieces , but it is still matter.
I can even burn the paper and it will become ash , but it is still matter.
