Treasury bonds, bills and notes are negotiable debt obligations of the U.S. government, secured by the full faith and credit and issued at various schedules and maturities.
Treasury Bills:
Treasury Bills are short-term securities with maturities of one year or less issued at a discount from face value. Auctions of 91-day and 182-day bills take place weekly, and the yields are watched closely in the money markets for signs of interest rate trends. Many floating-rate loans and variable-rate mortgages have interest rates tied to these bills. The Treasury also auctions 52-week bills once every four weeks. At times it also issues very short-term cash management bills, tax anticipation bills and treasury certificates of indebtedness.
Treasury Bonds:
Treasury bonds are long-term debt instruments, with maturities of 10 years or longer issued in minimum denominations of $1,000.
Treasury Notes:
Treasury notes are intermediate securities with maturities of 1 to 10 years. The notes are sold by cash subscription, in exchange for outstanding or maturing government issues, or at auction.
