Abstract
A transactional instrument and method of producing the same is disclosed wherein a check can have a matrix array of subjectively coded symbols that are obscured from view, and which can be exposed in a particular manner for comparison with a dedicated ascertainable code to verify the transaction. Both the code and the addresses to the matrix array can be randomly generated, and removable opaque material can be used to obscure the coded symbols.
