Interest rates on bills are quoted in terms of bank discount, with the return related to the face amount o f the bills payable at maturity rather than the amount invested, and their length in actual number o f days related to a 360-day year. In contrast, yields on certificates, notes, and bonds are computed in terms o f interest on the amount invested, and relate the number of days remaining in an interest payment period to the actual number of days in the period, with semiannual compounding if more than one coupon period is involved.
