Definitions
- the invention relates to a security element transfer material having a security element layer composite, which has a plurality of layers, and a temporary carrier, which is detachably connected to the security element layer composite, for transferring security elements to a valuable article, such as a security paper, a value document or a branded article, to ensure the authenticity of the object of value.
- the invention also relates to methods of making the security element transfer material, to methods of transferring a security element from the security element transfer material to a valuable item, and to valuables secured against counterfeiting using the security element transfer material.
- Valuables such as branded goods or documents of value, in particular banknotes, are often provided with security elements which allow verification of the authenticity of the object of value and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
- the security elements used for this purpose are not provided individually, but in the form of transfer belts with a plurality of security elements designed as transfer elements.
- Characteristic of Transf erb is that the security elements are prepared on a support layer, wherein the order of the layers of the transfer elements must be reversed, as it should be later on the object to be protected.
- the carrier layer is typically removed from the layer structure of the security elements during transfer.
- the transfer tapes On the opposite side of the carrier layer, the transfer tapes have an adhesive layer, usually of a heat-sealing adhesive, which melts during the transfer of the security elements and glued the security elements with the object to be secured.
- the transfer ribbon is applied to the article with the heat seal adhesive layer applied and pressed by means of a heated transfer punch or a transfer roller and transferred in the outline of the heated transfer punch on the object. Transfer elements, transfer belts and the transfer of transfer elements to target substrates are described, for example, in EP 0420261 B1 and WO 2005/108108 A2.
- the individual transfer elements can already be prefabricated in the desired outline shape on the transfer belt.
- the prefabrication of separate individual security elements is particularly useful if the security elements have a layer structure that makes an exact separation of the entire layer construction during the transfer process difficult. This is usually the case when the layer structure of the security element to be transmitted contains a carrier substrate, for example a plastic film.
- Support substrates within the layer construction of security elements are required if the security elements have to be made particularly stable, for example if they have to be self-supporting, because they are to be used for closing a continuous opening in the object to be secured.
- high demands can be placed on the stability of the security elements.
- Banknotes, for example are exposed to high stresses during their orbit, are tapped, kinked and possibly exposed to moisture. The security elements must be able to withstand these stresses as well as that
- Security elements whose layer construction comprises a stable carrier substrate, typically a plastic film, must be present on a transfer material as prefabricated individual elements, which means that the outline shapes of the security elements in the security element material must be precut beforehand.
- the pre-cutting can be carried out for example by means of a laser. This results in the problem that the cutting depth must be controlled very precisely in order to cut through the entire layer structure of the security element on the one hand, but on the other hand not to break the carrier material which is separated during the transfer.
- support materials usually plastic films are used. Although plastic films have a high tear resistance, but a low tear resistance.
- the security element transfer material in the form of continuous material tears the valuables in some places during the transfer process.
- the layer structures to be cut or the carrier sheets which are not to be cut are materials with thicknesses in the micrometer range.
- the security element laminates typically have thicknesses in the range of about 20 ⁇ m to 30 ⁇ m
- the carrier films typically have thicknesses in the range of 10 ⁇ m to 20 ⁇ m.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a security element transfer material in the form of a continuous material, pre-cut in the security elements in the desired outline shapes, and then the precut elements to be secured without risk of tearing the substrate Products can be transferred.
- the security element layer composite comprises a carrier substrate which gives the security elements sufficient stability to make them suitable as cover elements via through openings in valuables ,
- the object is achieved by the security element transfer material according to the main claim. Further objects of the invention are methods of making the security element transfer material, methods of transferring a security element from the security element transfer material to a valuable article, and a valuable article secured using the security element transfer material with a security element as set forth in the independent claims are indicated. Specific embodiments of the invention are set forth in the respective dependent claims.
- the security element transfer material according to the invention is typically a continuous material, usually a belt several hundred meters in length and a width of a few millimeters / centimeter to several meters.
- the security element transfer material has a security element layer composite, ie the actual security element Material, and a temporary carrier, ie the material on which the security elements are "stockpiled" on.
- the security element laminate has a plurality of layers, including a permanent support substrate, typically a plastic film, a feature layer, and a peek layer.
- a permanent support substrate typically a plastic film
- a feature layer typically a feature layer
- a peek layer typically a peek layer.
- the term "one (one, one, one)" in the present invention is to be understood as "at least one”.
- the security element layer composite can therefore also contain a plurality of permanent carrier substrates and / or a plurality of feature corn layers.
- the security element layer network actually contains several feature layers.
- a feature layer (or functional layer) is a layer that has visually detectable or machine detectable features.
- Examples which may be mentioned are metal layers, layers of metallic effect paints, layers with color pigments or fluorescent pigments, liquid crystal layers, coatings with a color shift effect, layers with matt structures, as disclosed, for example, in WO 2007/107235 A1, printed colored motif layers, layer combinations, such as a color-shaded layer having a color-shift effect, layers having magnetic pigments, etc.
- the materials, layer sequences and types of application are not limited in any way and basically all materials and methods that are familiar to a person skilled in the art of security elements are applicable are known.
- the term "permanent" carrier substrate expresses that this carrier substrate is not removed during the transfer of the security element to an object to be secured, but rather is part of the security element layer composite and is transferred to the object to be secured.
- the security elements are preferably to be used to cover through openings, whereby the presence of an opening should remain recognizable, it is preferably to use transparent or translucent permanent carrier substrates.
- films of polyester, such as polyethylene terephthalate, of polyethylene or polypropylene are suitable.
- the "sight layer" is to be understood as meaning the layer which, after the transmission of a security element to a valuable object, faces a viewer.
- the viewing layer may be identical to a feature layer or the permanent carrier substrate.
- a suitable layer structure for the security element layer composite is, merely by way of example and in no way restrictive, that of the so-called L-LEAD (Longlasting Economical Anticopy Device) security elements of Giesecke & Devrient GmbH.
- Such security elements have a layer structure with numerous functional layers (feature layers), including a z.
- feature layers including a z.
- the L-LEAD security elements also have a permanent carrier substrate.
- the security element laminate is connected to a temporary support either directly or by means of a release layer.
- the release layer is conventional and facilitates the detachment of the security elements from the temporary carrier during the transfer process to a valuable item.
- the temporary support is located on the side of the security element layer composite facing an observer after the transmission of the security elements.
- the temporary carrier consists of a carrier layer composite.
- the carrier layer composite consists of at least two temporary carrier substrates, which Tels an adhesive layer are firmly connected.
- temporary carrier substrates expresses that, in contrast to the "permanent" carrier substrate, these carrier substrates are not part of the security elements.
- Suitable materials for the temporary carrier substrates are, as in the case of the permanent carrier substrate, also plastic films, it being of course irrelevant here whether the films are transparent or not.
- the films should be as thin as possible, ie have thicknesses in the range of up to about 20 microns, but be stable and preferably stretchable, which facilitates a precise transmission of the security elements in the machine transfer process. With regard to the thickness of the temporary carrier substrates is still to be noted that these may be thicker than about 20 microns in an individual case, namely z. B., when the temporary carrier substrate is formed by connecting two films or film structures.
- the temporary carrier substrates of the carrier layer composite are adhesively bonded together by means of an adhesive layer.
- an adhesive layer Insoluble in this context means that the bond can not be solved in the transfer process of the security elements or in any processing or treatment processes of the security element transfer material.
- the transfer to valuables usually takes place by a process of heat-sealing, which is why thermoplastic adhesives are less suitable, unless they have very high softening temperatures.
- thermoplastic adhesives are less suitable, unless they have very high softening temperatures.
- z. B. solvent-based 2-component PU adhesives whose temperature stability is usually sufficiently large.
- These adhesives are generally cross-linked but not radiation-curable.
- radiation-curing adhesives in particular adhesives which are curable by UV radiation or by electron radiation. Details of the suitable laminating adhesives are known to the person skilled in the art.
- Self-healing adhesives are adhesives that cure only slowly, so that an adhesive layer damaged during the curing process is still reactive enough to reverse the damage in the course of the further curing process. Suitable adhesives tend to be in the class of cationic curing adhesives because cationic radiation curing is a relatively slow process that will continue for some time after the end of irradiation.
- the inventive construction of the temporary carrier as a carrier layer composite avoids that when cutting the outline of the security elements, the stability of the temporary carrier is affected by cutting the temporary carrier.
- a comparable result can not be achieved simply by designing a single temporary carrier film to be correspondingly thicker, since, as already mentioned, plastic films have a low tear propagation resistance, ie. H. if a film is even slightly truncated, it easily rips further and may completely through.
- This is different with the layer composite according to the invention: Even if one of the temporary carrier substrates is completely severed, the further temporary carrier substrate (or optionally the other temporary carrier substrates) generally remains undamaged and accordingly stable.
- the adhesive also forms an additional "buffer zone" between the temporary carrier substrates.
- a self-healing adhesive is used and cutting the contours of the security elements is performed at a time when the adhesive has not yet fully cured, cuts in the adhesive layer are reformed.
- the still plastic adhesive can even penetrate into the temporary carrier substrates in sections and fill them in whole or in part or at least glue them to such an extent that the stability of the cut temporary carrier substrates does not appreciably suffer.
- the cutting of the outline shapes of the security elements is preferably carried out by means of a laser, as this allows the best precision to be achieved.
- the term "cutting” generally means all methods known to one skilled in the art for delimiting the individual security elements from the endless material, for example punching.
- additional measures are preferably taken which are suitable for preventing a deep cutting of the laser.
- Such measures are, for example, the provision of a laser protective layer between the first temporary carrier substrate and the adhesive layer and / or between the second temporary carrier substrate and the adhesive layer.
- the temporary carrier substrates can be vapor-deposited with a laser-absorbing or a laser-reflecting material.
- the adhesive between the temporary carrier substrates with laser-absorbing or laser-reflecting substances at least for example, be provided with metal pigments, whereby the underlying temporary carrier substrate is protected.
- the temporary carrier typically consists of a carrier layer composite with two temporary carrier substrates, which are connected by means of an adhesive layer.
- the carrier layer composite may also comprise more than two temporary carrier substrates, wherein in each case two temporary carrier substrates are connected by means of an adhesive layer. It is essential that the adhesive bonds ensure that the temporary carrier always holds together as a layer composite and can be separated from the security elements even when transferring the security elements to valuables as a complete layer composite.
- the laminate structure of the temporary carrier optionally with a self-healing adhesive and / or laser protection layer (s) and / or laser-absorbing or laser-reflecting substances in the adhesive layer, makes it possible to form the temporary carrier as a whole comparatively thin, therefore flexible and nevertheless extremely stable.
- the layer thicknesses for the temporary carrier, d. H. the carrier layer composite are preferably in the range of 20 microns to 40 microns.
- the production of the security element transfer material according to the invention can take place in different ways.
- the Production of the security element layer composite takes place in a conventional manner.
- the temporary carrier is produced by bonding the temporary carrier substrates by means of an adhesive layer.
- the adhesives for bonding the temporary carrier substrates and bonding the security element laminate to the temporary carrier are selected such that the adhesive bond between the temporary carrier substrates can not be released under security element transfer conditions (typically heat sealing) while the bond between Security element layer composite and temporary carrier is easily loosened.
- the security element layer composite is first produced in a conventional manner and constructed on the security element layer composite of the temporary carrier.
- a first adhesive is first applied to the viewing layer of the security element layer composite (the layer which later faces a viewer) and a temporary carrier substrate is adhesively bonded thereto.
- a further adhesive is applied and glued to this another temporary carrier substrate. If appropriate, further tempo-free carrier substrates can be glued on. It is essential that the adhesives be chosen so that the security element layer composite can be easily detached from the carrier layer composite, while the carrier layer composite always and especially under security element transmission conditions remains firmly bonded, as described in the previous variant.
- the first adhesive thus forms a so-called "release layer".
- the temporary carrier is produced and then the security element layer composite is constructed thereon, layer by layer.
- the temporary carrier is made by non-detachably bonding at least two, and preferably two temporary carrier substrates to a carrier layer composite.
- the security element layer composite is built up in a conventional manner, wherein first a release layer can be applied to one of the temporary carrier substrates and then the first security element layer (the later facing the viewer) is then applied thereon.
- the release layer may also be omitted in this type of fabrication if the type of gaze layer in the security element transfer process permits easy separation from the temporary support.
- the viewing layer is a lacquer layer with low adhesion to plastic films, as they are used for the temporary carrier substrates.
- Suitable lacquers are, for example, the embossing lacquers used for embossing diffraction structures.
- the temporary carrier substrate to be coated can also be pretreated to reduce adhesion.
- the above-mentioned embodiment is presently preferred over the other production variants, in particular if the security element layer composite without a release layer is arranged on the temporary carrier substrate.
- the second temporary carrier substrate and the first temporary carrier substrate are glued together only after the viewing layer and further layers of the security element subelement have been arranged on the first temporary carrier, whereby the second temporary carrier substrate is protected from thermal or radiation stresses, in particular in connection with the embossing of the embossing lacquer layer.
- the second temporary carrier substrate and the further layers of the security element partial element z. B. a permanent carrier substrate to apply substantially simultaneously.
- an embossing lacquer layer according to the method described in EP 1 879154 A2 is applied as the first security element layer on the temporary carrier.
- the embossing lacquer layer is applied wet-to-wet in several steps, i. H. a first embossing lacquer layer is first applied to the temporary support, the first layer is partially but not completely cured, then a second embossing lacquer layer and optionally further embossing lacquer layers are applied, then at least the uppermost layer of the coating is embossed with a microstructure, and then the entire coating hardened. Subsequently, the microstructure can be equipped with a suitable coating, for example metallized.
- the disclosure content of EP 1 879154 A2 is included in the present description to this extent.
- embossing lacquer layer directly on the temporary support without the interposition of a heat-activatable release layer avoids the problem that an undefined cleavage of the release layer takes place under certain circumstances. Release layers can also cause problems if the gaze shift occurs after the security element has been transferred a value object further treated, for example, printed, should be. Overprinting of release layers or of layers which have residues of release layers often leads to unclean print images.
- a heat-seal adhesive layer is preferably applied for bonding to a valuable article.
- Suitable heat seal adhesives are known to a person skilled in the art. Preference is given to using heat seal adhesives which, after physical drying or, in the case of hotmelt adhesives after cooling, form substantially tack-free coatings at room temperature. Such heat seal adhesives are preferred because the security element transfer material is not usually used immediately after production, but is stored, which requires winding of the continuous material. A tack free hot-melt adhesive layer would result in blocking of the wound security-element transfer-material webs.
- Tack free is when security element transfer material pieces of about 100 cm 2 , stacked and weighted at 10 kg and stored for 72 hours at 40 ° C., are then easily separable without damage.
- the heat-seal adhesive layer it is generally to be noted that this is advantageously applied only after the necessary steps have been performed for connecting the security element sub-element layers or the layers of the temporary carrier substrate. Since the joining of said layers usually takes place at elevated temperature and / or pressure, it makes sense to apply the heat- and / or pressure-sensitive hot-seal adhesive layer only after joining these layers. The security element transfer material can now be stored temporarily or processed immediately.
- the later security elements are cut out, ie the outline shapes of the later security elements are cut into the security element layer composite, wherein the cuts preferably completely sever the entire security element layer composite.
- "Cutting" in this context includes any form of cutting, so for example, punching.
- the most precise and therefore most preferred type of cutting is cutting with a laser. Even when laser cutting, however, it can not be avoided that the temporary carrier is cut.
- the temporary carrier is designed according to the invention as a layer composite, cutting the layer composite does not have any effects which impair the stability of the overall Schichr composite.
- the cutting process can be controlled so precisely that at least the tem- porary carrier substrate farthest from the security element sandwich remains intact and stably holds the temporary support.
- a precise control of the cutting process can take place in that a temporary carrier substrate or an adhesive layer has a laser-sensitive dye.
- the color of the laser-sensitive dye beats due to the laser energy and / or the wavelength the laser to, or the laser-sensitive dye reacts to the heat generated during laser cutting, for example by evaporation.
- Variability 1 for precise control of the cutting process The temporary carrier substrate (18 in Fig. 4b described below), which may not be damaged by the laser, is provided with a laser-sensitive dye. Nevertheless, if the temporary carrier substrate is damaged by the laser, the dye discolors, which can be detected by a sensor. In this way, the area with the damaged temporary carrier substrate as scrap, i. as goods to be sorted. Furthermore, in this way a message can be sent to the machine operator that the tolerance limit is exceeded and the laser must be readjusted, e.g. by reducing the laser power and / or increasing the deflection speed of the laser. The term deflection speed here is to be understood as the speed with which the laser is guided over the workpiece. A readjustment of the laser can also be done automatically via a suitable sensor.
- Variability 2 for Precise Control of the Cutting Process The adhesive layer (19 in Fig. 4b, below) of the carrier layer composite, which may be last damaged by the laser before the laser damages a temporary carrier substrate underlying the adhesive layer, is provided with a laser-sensitive dye , If the dye discolors, this can be detected by a sensor. In this way, a message can be sent to the machine operator that work is being carried out close to the tolerance limit and the laser must be readjusted, for example by reducing the laser power and / or the deflection speed. the laser is increased. A readjustment of the laser can also be done automatically via a suitable sensor.
- Variability 3 for precise control of the cutting process The security element layer composite is connected to the temporary carrier via a release layer (9 in Fig. 4d described below), which must be damaged by the laser.
- the release layer is provided with a laser-sensitive dye. If the dye does not discolour, the cutting process is incomplete and the area marked as scrap. In this way, a message can be sent to the machine operator that the tolerance limit is exceeded and the laser must be readjusted, e.g. by increasing the laser power and / or reducing the deflection speed of the laser. A readjustment of the laser can also be done automatically via a suitable sensor.
- Variability 4 for precise control of the cutting process Within a carrier layer composite with several adhesive layers, the adhesive layer (17 "in FIG. 5 described below), which may be damaged by the laser, is provided with a laser-sensitive dye , this can be detected by a sensor and a message to the machine operator that is working close to the tolerance limit and must be readjusted, for example, by increasing the laser power and / or the deflection speed of the laser is reduced.A readjustment of the laser can also automatically via a suitable sensor.
- the excess security-element laminate ie, the laminate material outside the outline of the security features, is removed, leaving only the security features themselves are the temporary carrier, the security elements on the temporary carrier so spaced apart.
- the security element transfer material now consists of the temporary support with the security elements designed as transfer elements, ie the layer sequence of the security elements is the other way round as the layer sequence which is present after the transfer of the security elements on the protected object.
- Removal of the excess security element laminar material is also referred to as "scaling" because the excess security element laminar material forms a continuous grid (with recesses in the form of the security elements remaining on the temporary carrier) which peels off the temporary carrier analogously to a separation coil / can be removed.
- the transfer of the security elements from the security element transfer material to valuables, in particular a security paper or a value document, preferably takes place by heat sealing.
- both the security element transfer material and the valuable article are preferably used as band material.
- the band materials are brought together in the appropriate position, for example in a nip, whereby the security elements stick to the valuables.
- the bonding takes place by means of hot-seal adhesive, ie at elevated temperature.
- the security elements can have any shapes and in themselves any sizes. Preferred embodiments are labels, Folienpatche or other planar security elements. The dimensions are significantly influenced by the protected object of value.
- the security elements preferably have a thickness of 1 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m, particularly preferably a thickness of 2 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m. These are the preferred thicknesses of the security elements in the provision of valuable documents and security papers with security elements, because they are easy to handle. In terms of area are in the
- the security element transfer material according to the invention is in principle suitable for product security of goods of any kind, in particular for the authenticity assurance of security papers and value documents.
- security paper is understood to mean a precursor that can not yet be processed to a value document, which besides the security element can have further authenticity features.
- Security paper is lying Usually as continuous material before and will be further processed at a later date.
- Value documents are in particular banknotes, certificates, checks, identity documents, identity cards, credit cards and the like.
- the security element transfer material according to the invention which has security elements which, due to their permanent carrier substrate, have a particular stability, is used to close continuous openings in value documents.
- the permanent carrier substrate of the security elements is transparent, the functional layers (feature layers) can be designed such that a viewer can see through the security element at least in some areas.
- An opening in a security paper or document of value may already be generated during the production of the security paper or document of value and then has a fibrous, irregular edge. Such an edge is characteristic of the openings already made during sheet formation and can not be subsequently produced. Details of the production of such irregular edges can be found in the document WO 03/054297 A2, the disclosure content of which is included in the present description to this extent.
- the opening is produced only after papermaking by punching or cutting, for example by laser beam cutting.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of a security element transfer material, as shown in Fig. 1, 4a to 4d and Fig. 5,
- FIG. 3 is a plan view of a document of value with a security element made of a security element transfer material according to the invention

- the feature layer 4 is the viewing layer, ie after the security elements have been transferred to valuables, it faces the observers.
- the layer 4 here is a liquid crystal layer applied over part of the area, the regions 4 1 being the liquid crystal areas.
- Another feature layer is a metallized hologram, consisting of the embossing lacquer layer 5 and the vapor-deposited metal layer 2.
- the metal layer 2 has recesses 2 ', which form a negative writing.
- the metallization 2 is provided substantially only in the areas of the security element transfer material forming the later security elements.
- the security element layer composite 15 and the temporary carrier 16 are connected by means of a release layer 9, to which, as already mentioned, can also be dispensed with in a particularly advantageous embodiment.
- Lines 20 and 20 indicate how the security element laminate is cut to pre-cut the security elements in their outline shapes. As can be seen, the cuts 20 and 20 'penetrate into the plastic film which forms the temporary support 16. The plastic film is destabilized by the cuts and can easily tear at the points of incisions with slight strains, as they are practically unavoidable in the course of the transfer process of the security elements.
- Fig. 2 shows a security element transfer material in which the security elements are precut, in a plan view. In the plan view is not recognizable whether it is a security element transfer material of the prior art, as in Fig.

- the structure of the security element Layer composite 15 is the same as the prior art security element transfer material shown in FIG. Also in the case of the security element transfer material 1 according to the invention, the security element layer composite 15 is connected to a temporary carrier 16 by means of a release layer 9, wherein the release layer 9, as already mentioned, can also be dispensed with in a particularly advantageous embodiment.
- this is not a single film, but rather a carrier layer composite consisting of a first temporary carrier substrate 17 and a second temporary carrier substrate 18, which are non-releasably connected by means of an adhesive layer 19.
- the two temporary carrier substrates are plastic films, for example films PET, and the adhesive layer 19 consists of a cationic radiation-curable adhesive, for example UVCS0002 from XSYS.
- 2K PU systems are particularly suitable as adhesives.
- Theenceselement- layer composite 15 has a total thickness of about 25 microns

- the security element transfer material 1 when the outline shapes 21 have been cut at a point in time at which the adhesive of the layer 19 has not yet fully cured, the state shown in FIG. 4c is reached after a certain time. As can be seen from FIG. 4c, the incision 20 'in the adhesive layer 19 is completely cured. The cuts 20 and 20 'in the temporary carrier substrate 17 are still clearly visible, but if the cutting of the outline shapes occurs early enough, the adhesive of the layer 19 is still sufficiently fluid and reactive that it at least a little way into the cuts of the temporary carrier substrate 17 penetrates and glued the cuts.
- FIG. 2 shows the security element transfer material 1 according to the invention as an endless belt, in which only one security element is located in the direction of the width.
- the endless belts may be wider and include a plurality of juxtaposed security elements.
- Fig. 5 shows a specific embodiment of the security element transfer material 1 according to the invention, showing a state corresponding to the state shown in Fig. 4b.
- the temporary carrier 16 consists of three temporary carrier substrates IT, 17 '"and 18, which are permanently connected to a carrier layer composite by means of adhesive layers 17" and 19.
- the layers 17 ', 17 “and 17'” are each very thin, and the adhesive layer 17 "contains copper in pigment form, which reflects laser beams to limit the depth of cut
- an embossing lacquer layer 5 has been produced according to the method described in EP 1 879154 A2 by application of two embossing lacquer layers which have been jointly embossed and cured.
- the immediate arrangement of the security element layer composite 15 on the temporary carrier 16, ie without a release layer, shown in FIG. 5 is particularly preferred and also for those shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 Embodiments very advantageous.
- the metallization 2 was vapor-deposited by physical vapor deposition.
- the recesses 2 ' were produced by means of a washing process (as disclosed, for example, in WO 99/13157 and WO 97/23357). Then a layer of laminating adhesive 6 was applied and a PET film as a permanent carrier substrate 3 bonded thereto. On the permanent support substrate 3 further layers have been built, the exact nature of the present invention, however, is irrelevant, and which are designated generally by the reference numeral 11. If the excess security element layer composite material is removed after the outline forms 21 of the security elements 10 have been cut in, a plan view is again obtained as shown in FIG. 2.
- FIG. 3 shows a banknote 30 which has a through opening 31.
- the through opening 31 is closed with a foil patch 10, which has a larger area than the through opening 31.
