Talk:Bearer bond

message: Removed the following:
:(note that checks printed in the US all say "endorse", which is an incorrect spelling)
Merriam-Webster shows 'endorse' as the preferred US spelling.
:Not just US, endorse is the preferred spelling in British english too.
:The UCC, adopted in all states, uses "indorsement" and its derivative words. Either is generally accepted. I believe that "endorsement" is more common in lay usage. Ellsworth 19:26, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

message: What about dividend payments - where/how do they go?
:I'm not an expert, but zero coupon bearer bonds were (AIUI) not uncommon; Otherwise the dividend would be paid to whoever physically presented the (literal) coupon to the issuer. Then, of course, somebody realised that the dividends themselves were a tradeable entity without the attached bond, and thus appeared the strips market... 87.194.60.87 12:15, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Need to work this definition in the article somehow - I removed it from "History":
:A bearer bond or bearer security is a certificate that represents a bond obligation of, or stock in, a corporation or other intangible property. 
Also it should be pointed out that governments issue bearer bonds as debt instruments although this practice has been curtailed for reasons I have tried to explain in the article. Ellsworth (talk)
: The definition defines a bearer bond as an equity share, which is contrary to the normal definition of bond. Bearer bonds are bearer credit instruments. The current definition seems more appropriate to a bearer share, which is a distinct concept. Qemist (talk) 11:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct amundo. I rewrote the article accordingly. Ellsworth (talk) 03:41, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

message: It should be pointed out that all British bank notes are,in effect,bearer bonds as they carry a promise to pay the bearer the amount stated on the note.This promise is made in the name of,and signed by, The Chief Cashier of The Bank of England.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.125.43 (talk) 19:27, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: When one gives the Chief Cashier of The Bank of England British bank notes, what does he give to the bearer in return? 01:15, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What you're really talking about is currency, aren't you? Paper issued by or payable by a national treasury or central bank is currency if it's defined as legal tender, otherwise it's considered a treasury note or bond. Bearer bonds, as fairly defined, generally refers to paper issued by a private entity or by a governmental entity other than a national treasury, such as a city, state or government department.

thread_title:  British Banknotes. 

message: For example, if I write on a bit of paper that I owe $50 to the bearer, is that a bearer bond? What if I write it out as an officer of some organisation? Is there (was there) some statutory requirement regarding the information written on the document (serial numbers, amounts, signatures, exact required wording etc.) Maybe the words, "Bearer Bond" have to be written on the document somewhere?
I have seen the term bearer bond mentioned in books, on television, and in films many times. I have also read the Wikipedia article - yet I am still not sure exactly what one would consist of.
The comment about British Banknotes further up this page goes further than the article to explain what a bearer bond actually is (assuming that it is correct).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.233.172 (talk) 08:16, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article doesn't give a clear idea of what a bearer bond consists of 

message: Bearer bonds were not "banned" in the US in 1982, but the tax code was changed to make their use financially impracticable. 26 USC 103(b) requires municipal bonds to be registered in order for the interest payable to be tax-exempt to the payee, and 26 USC 163(j) requires corporate bonds to be registered in order for the interest paid to be tax-deductible by the obligor.
