Abstract
A card includes a magnetic track portion on which value information representing a prepaid amount and one of serial number data consecutively assigned in an issuance order are magnetically recorded, and a serial number printing portion in which a number representing the serial number data is marked with a laser beam. A card issuing apparatus includes a recording/reproducing unit and a laser marking unit. The recording/reproducing unit magnetically records value information representing a prepaid amount and one of serial number data consecutively assigned in an issuance order in a first area of the card, and reads out the serial number data magnetically recorded in the first area. The laser marking unit marks a number represented by the serial number data read out by the recording/reproducing unit in a second area of the card with a laser beam.
