How are Savings bonds different from other bonds?
There are two kinds of bonds: coupon and zero-coupon bonds. A coupon bond pays interest on a periodic schedule--and what the schedule is depends on the bond. When you get the bond, it's got a certain number of coupons attached to it. Each one is dated and says how much interest you will receive when you redeem it. The main part of the bond is the corpus--the "body"--and when redeemed, you will receive the money you spent to buy the bond back. If you buy an investment-grade coupon bond, and its face value is $1,000, you need $1,000 to buy the bond. Note I said "investment-grade" here. If you buy a coupon bond that's in the junk category, quite often they sell at a discount from face value. But junk bonds are a world of their own. Savings bonds are zero-coupon bonds. They sell at a discount from face value--right now it's 50 percent, so if you want a $100 savings bond you need to bring $50. When the bond matures and is redeemed, you will receive the face value of the bond. There are no periodic interest payments with these bonds.
