A bearer bond is a bond that is not registered in its owner’s name. The person holding the bond is presumed to be the owner of the bond. The interest on a bearer bond is received by clipping one of the dated interest coupons which are attached to the bond and presenting it to a bank for collection. This is the reason a bearer bond is also referred to as a coupon bond. Today, bearer bonds are almost nonexistent.
