Coupon Bond

Definition: A coupon bond contains interest coupons that the bond holder sends to the issuing entity on the dates when interest payments are due (normally semi-annually). A coupon bond is unregistered, so the issuing entity has an obligation to pay interest and principal to whomever holds the bond.
