Definitions

  • the invention relates to a value document, in particular a banknote, with a visually and machine-readable individualizing identifier, which is formed from alphanumeric characters and with a machine-readable inspection element.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing such a value document and to a method for verifying the authenticity of such a document of value.
  • Value documents such. As banknotes, but also passports, credit cards and other media often have an individualizing indicator, which is formed from alphanumeric characters.
  • the individualizing tag is usually visually and machine readable.
  • the identifier can therefore be detected by a viewer as the value document individualizing and the authenticity of the value document securing character.
  • the license plate can also be read by machine and the authenticity of the thus marked value document can be checked.
  • a disadvantage of the known value documents with such an individualizing indicator and a machine-readable inspection element is the fact that both the mark and the test element can usually be imitated by known printing methods with relatively little effort, and therefore the document of value insufficient against counterfeiting and Imitation is secured.

Because this is the value document is better protected against counterfeiting not only by the additional coding of the individualizing mark, but it is automatically possible to easily check whether the nature of the coding of the individualizing mark is genuine or a mere imitation or forgery. Contains the individualizing indicator z.
  • the type of coding is contained in the test element of the manufacturer of the value document in coded form known only to him, so that a counterfeiter, even in the event that he can read the test element on the value document, no conclusion on the exact nature of the coding can draw the individualizing indicator or any conclusions are associated with a considerable experimental and technical effort.
  • the counterfeit protection of the value document is thereby considerably increased, so that genuine and counterfeit documents of value can be reliably distinguished from one another by appropriately equipped banknote processing machines.
  • a value document which contains a serial number as an individualizing identifier.
  • the individualizing mark formed from alphanumeric characters is only a specific arrangement of alphanumeric characters or a serial number formed according to a specific educational specification
  • the formation of the individualizing mark as a serial number is advantageous since the user of the Value document these usually associated with a value document rather brings more than just a certain array of alphanumeric characters and hence the counterfeit protection is higher because of the greater recognition value of such a serial numbered document.
  • serial numbers can be read out extremely reliably by machine, which enables faster and more reliable machine banknote processing.
  • the term serial number includes according to the invention in addition to digits and letters.
  • the machine-readable encoding of the value document is formed by at least two alphanumeric characters with different physical properties.
  • a further improvement of the counterfeit protection by the individualizing characteristic is achieved by the fact that a large number or even all alphanumeric characters of the individualizing characteristic have different physical properties. In principle, however, not all characters must differ in their physical properties, but it is sufficient, for example.

B. are arranged alternately or in the form of a predetermined coding. For a serial number with z. B. eight to twelve characters results in the arrangement of the characters of the first and the second group in a fixed type of coding already a large number of possibilities, so that the counterfeiter is given a high hurdle in the imitation of the coded individualizing mark.

If, by contrast, an inkjet printing method is used to apply the magnetic colors, nanopigments having a particle size in the range between 50 nm and 100 nm are generally suitable. Further suitable for the inkjet printing method are inks containing ceramic magnetic pigments. Since the ceramic magnetic pigments are generally larger than the abovementioned nanopigments, the use of such ceramic pigments requires one special printhead assembly of inkjet printing device. Due to the fact that such special printhead structures are generally much more robust than printheads for conventional inkjet printing processes, it should also be possible to process particles with a particle size of up to 5 ⁇ m.

  • the inspection element 5 of the banknote 1 represents an alternative embodiment, which is an elongate film element, in particular a film strip, which runs along the short side of the banknote.
  • the film element 5 contains, in addition to security features not shown in particular a coding, which in turn can be designed as a bar code.
  • any other form of coding on the test element 5 is conceivable, in particular a sequence of substances with different magnetic, electrical, optical etc. properties. Since such a film strip 5 is applied during the production of the value document on the substrate sheet to be separated with documents of value, all banknotes in a column of the so-called Mehrnutzenbogens have the same test element.
  • each value document could be associated with another Be provided test element having a different type of coding, which correlates to a differently coded individualizing identifier.
  • a test element denoted by the reference numeral 6 which is the sequence of three rings of different sizes, which are arranged concentrically.
  • the test element 6 could be a so-called foil patch, that is to say a non-elongate film element which in particular has a diffraction structure or a matt structure. Due to the special design, in particular the choice of the diameter D1, D2, D3 and the width B of the rings, in turn, the nature of the coding of the individualizing plate 2 in the test element 6 can be stored in machine-readable form.
  • the test element 6 could again be formed as a watermark in the form of these rings and be machinable by means of a suitable transmitted-light or transmission sensor.
  • the value document with individualizing mark 2 is provided with the test element only at a later point in time.
  • the test element can be added to the value document at a later time, so that the value document can only be completed after the test element has been added and put into circulation or placed on the market.
