The issue would seem to be not whether you used Round[N[]] but rather whether you used it appropriately, i.e., conditionally.

f[x_] = (-1/2 (x - Sqrt[-1 + x^2])^(2 x) +
     1/2 (x + Sqrt[-1 + x^2])^(2 x))^2;

If[FullSimplify[Element[f[#], Integers]],
    Round[N[f[#]]], {#, "Failed"}] & /@ Range[0, 20] // Column

Dear Bob,
Yes, I was see that Andrzej Kozlowski procedure work perfectly but 
output is True/False type. I need procedure where output will be exact 
integer number (and inside procedure will be not numerical functions 
like Round[N[]]).
Your procedure realize this aim but only up to indexes 0..7 and not for 
upper 8 and more.
Best wishes
Artur
