Electronic Bonds vs. Paper Bonds?

caramelakilah asked:

They say that soon the treasury will stop the sale of discounted bonds at banks and financial institutions. Is it more profitable to buy bonds from the ban which are priced 50% off ($25 for $50 bond) or through treasury direct with is face value ($25 for $25 bond). Will the treasury direct bond brign in more intrest since its already at face value? What am I missing here?

    It depends on the bond series. Series “I” bonds (inflation protected) are sold at face value. They earn better interest than series “E” bonds (sold at 1/2 of face value).
