Abstract: The present invention relates to an information carrier with an upper and a lower cover layer and a plate, which can be moved between the cover layers. The information carrier contains information, which is given a defined association by the appropriate positioning of the plate with respect to the cover layer. In order to be able to produce the information carrier in a more compact and simpler way, it is designed in accordance with the present invention in such a way that the plate (10) is embodied to have a circular disk shape, except for at least one cut off edge section, and can be viewed and manually moved through a cutout in at least one of the cover layers, and is formed out of a center layer arranged between the upper and the lower cover layer by cutting a separating slit in the shape of an arc of a circle.
