A material connection (8) is provided between the directly adjacent small bars. The connection comprises a predetermined breaking point, and a carrier is attached to a lower side of the bar. The material connection is a part of a protrusion (5) i.e. groove, which is brought into the bar. The connection is arranged at distance to an upper side (6) and a lower side (7) of the bar. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a bar made of noble metal or alloy comprising the noble metal.
