Treasury notes and bonds are securities that pay a fixed rate of interest every six months until your security matures, which is when we pay you their par value. The only difference between them is their length until maturity. Treasury notes mature in more than a year, but not more than 10 years from their issue date. Bonds, on the other hand, mature in more than 10 years from their issue date. Treasury also sells Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS).

Unlike savings bonds, Treasury bills, notes, bonds, and TIPS are transferable, so you can buy or sell them in the securities market. Also, bills, notes, bonds, and TIPS are electronic - they're not paper securities like savings bonds. You can buy Treasury bills, notes, bonds, and TIPS for a minimum of $1,000, and you can buy savings bonds for as little as $25.

The difference between bills, notes, and bonds is the amount of time the securities take to reach maturity. A bill generally has a maturity of less than one year, a note ranges anywhere from one to 10 years, and a bond has a maturity of 10 years or more.

On July 14, 1969, David M. Kennedy, the 60th Secretary of the Treasury, and officials at the Federal Reserve Board announced that they would immediately stop distributing currency in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Production of these denominations stopped during World War II. Their main purpose was for bank transfer payments. With the arrival of more secure transfer technologies, however, they were no longer needed for that purpose.

For example, even those who criticize singlehanders get in their cars and commute to work at 70+ MPH in bumper to bumper rush hour tafffic without an adequate clear stopping distance in front.
