Abstract
A value-document processing apparatus for documents of value, such as, e.g. bank notes, checks, etc. having a transport system and one or more sensors. The sensors have a sensor surface past which the bank notes are transported, where the sensor surface is provided with a plurality of elevations or depressions. Through the structured surface, the friction is decreased between the sensor surface and the transported document of value, so that the transport of the document of value is stabilized and the proneness to jamming is reduced.
