An issuing system for issuing unmodifiable and/or unforgeable hardcopy documents or securities includes a server and a plurality of issuing machines connected to the server via a network. Each of the issuing machines receives an ID recording medium provided by a potential purchaser, retrieves an identification recorded in the received ID recording medium, requests the potential purchaser to input a request for a transaction of the security or financing instrument, processes the requested transaction, and prints out on demand a hardcopy of the security or financing instrument as purchased by the potential purchaser and a checksum thereon. A method for forming a new market with the issuing system embodies preparing the financing instrument, public-offering the financing instrument, delivering to the purchaser a financial disclosure, requesting the purchaser to acknowledge receipt and review of the financial disclosure, confirming acknowledgement of the financial disclosure from the purchaser; and processing the requested transaction by retrieving information via the network to the server.
