An object of the invention is to realize a valuable cipher information issuing
system that is entirely free of a risk of theft during the course of distribution.
To this end, a valuable cipher information issuing system 10 is constructed
so as to be provided with cipher information storing means 12 for accumulating
pieces of cipher information each being a string of a prescribed number of characters,
requested amount of money input means 14 through which to select and input
a desired amount of money, paid amount of money input means 16 through which
to input an actually paid amount of money, valuable cipher information generating
means 22 for generating valuable cipher information by correlating cipher
information with the amount of money when the requested amount of money coincides
with the paid amount of money, valuable cipher information storing means 24
for storing the valuable cipher information, and valuable cipher information output
means 26 for outputting the valuable cipher information.
