Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007028640A1] The invention relates to a device for testing valuable documents, such as e.g. bills, wherein an area of the bill is detected by means of two optical sensors, aligned symmetrically with respect to each other, from different directions. The measured values supplied by the sensors are added up in order to obtain a total measured value which is insensitive to unsymmetrical effects of the valuable documents, and the measured values are subtracted from each other in order to detect the very unsymmetrical effects. A single device thus allows to test both authenticity features and the quality of condition of the valuable document.
