A device for transporting notes of value comprises a first idler pulley mounted in the device and at least a second idler pulley mounted in the device, as well as an endless belt running around the idler pulleys, and a freely rotatable guide roller mounted in the device and having at least one connecting area for reception in a receiving opening of the device. The axis of rotation of the guide roller has in a first receiving position of the connecting area in the receiving opening a first orthogonal distance to a plane in which the axes of rotation of the idler pulleys run. The axis of rotation of the guide roller has in a second receiving position of the connecting area in the receiving opening a second orthogonal distance to the plane.
