There is provided a metal sheet producing method that can avoid a decrease in magnetic properties. The metal sheet producing method is a method for producing metal sheets by applying heat treatment to metal sheets made of amorphous soft magnetic material while conveying the metal sheets along a bar and thus crystallizing the amorphous soft magnetic material into nano-crystal soft magnetic material. The method includes attaching the plurality of metal sheets in a laminated state to an upstream portion of the bar, separating the plurality of metal sheets from each other using magnetic force and moving the metal sheets while applying heat treatment thereto so as to allow them to pass by a midstream portion of the bar, and sequentially laminating the metal sheets that have passed by the midstream portion on a downstream portion of the bar.
