Abstract
The invention relates to a paper of value (1) with at least one security feature (3), in particular a bank note (1), as well as a method and an apparatus for producing such a paper of value (1). By virtue of e.g. bank notes (1) being produced with at least one rounded corner area (4a-d, 4a′-d′), the likelihood of the formation of dog-ears and thus of jams during automatic tests in bank note processing machines is reduced.

Bank note (1, 1′) with at least one security feature (3), characterized in that the bank note (1, 1′) is produced with at least one rounded corner area (4a-d, 4a′-d′).
Method for producing bank notes (1, 1′) with at least one security feature (3) and with at least one rounded corner area (4a-d, 4a′-d′), the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a sheet (10) of a printed or unprinted security paper with one or several single copies (11, 11′) for producing one or several bank notes (1, 1′),
- severing the sheet (10) into single copies (11, 11′) corresponding to the individual bank notes (1, 1′) and
- rounding at least one corner area (4a-d, 4a′-d′) of the single copies (11, 11′).
Apparatus for producing bank notes (1, 1′) with at least one security feature (3) and with at least one rounded corner area (4a-d, 4a′-d′), the apparatus comprising the following:
- a severing device (12) for severing a sheet (10) of a printed or unprinted security paper, with one or several copies (11, 11′) for producing one or several bank notes (1, 1′), into single copies (11, 11′) corresponding to the individual bank notes (1, 1′) and
- a rounding device (12) for rounding at least one corner area (4a-d, 4a′-d′) of the single copies (11, 11′).
