Abstract
A sequence of H sheets of notes, for example 100 sheets, is first of all checked for misprints, and the note positions having misprints of each sheet are stored in a computer. The sheets of this sequence then pass a numbering machine (4), which has freely programmable numbering units, which are controlled by the computer. In this case, the numbering takes place in such a way that all the satisfactory note prints within the sequence of sheets, excluding the misprints, receive a consecutive sequence of numbers, the sequence of numbers of H notes in one and the same note position being the continuation of the sequence of numbers of the H notes in a neighboring note position. The next sequence of H sheets receives the subsequent sequence of numbers. After numbering, stacks of sheets (FH) having H sheets each are formed, the stacks are cut into stacks of notes (W), and these stacks of notes are fed, ordered according to consecutive numbering, to a segregation and bundling device (9), in which the misprints are removed and in each case H successive satisfactory notes are combined to form a bundle (WB) having a complete sequence of numbers. In each case ten bundles are packed to form a pack of notes (P).
