GILBERT President This publication was digitized and made available by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas' Historical Library (FedHistory@dal.frb.org) UNITED STATES SAYINGS BONDS SERIES F AND SERIES G 1944 Department Circular No. 654 Second Revision Fiscal Service Bureau of the Public Debt TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Office of the Secretary, Washington, January 1, I. OFFERING OF UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS OF SERIES F A N D SERIES G 1. The Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to the authority of the Second Liberty Bond Act, as amended, offers for sale, to the people of the United States, through the Federal Reserve Banks, United States Savings Bonds of Series F and Series G, which may hereinafter be referred to as bonds of Series F and Series G. Bonds of a new design, without change in terms, will be provided for issue hereunder in regular course without further notice as stocks of the prior bonds of Series F and Series G become exhausted. The sale of bonds of Series F and Series G will continue until terminated by the Secretary of the Treasury. 2. United States Savings Bonds of Series F and Series G include bonds of any designation issued under this circular as originally published and amended, and those issued under this circular as previously or as now revised. As their terms are identical, no distinction is to be made between any bonds of Series F or Series G so issued. II. DESCRIPTION A N D TERMS OF BONDS 1. Bonds of Series F and Series G will be issued only in registered form, in denominations of $25 (for Series F only), $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 (maturity values), at prices herein after set forth. Each bond will bear the facsimile signature of the Secretary of the Treasury, and will bear an imprint in color (brown for Series F and blue for Series G) of the Seal of the Treasury. At the time of issue, on the face of each bond, the issuing agent will inscribe the name and address of the owner and the name of the coowner or beneficiary, if any, will enter, the issue date (which is the first day of the month in which payment of the issue price is received by the Treasury or an authorized issuing agent), and will imprint his dating stamp (to show the date the bond is actually inscribed). Bonds of Series F and Series G shall be valid only if duly inscribed and dated, as above provided, and delivered by an authorized agent following receipt of payment therefor. 2. The bonds of each series will, in each instance, be dated as of the first day of the month in which payment of the issue price is received by an agent authorized to issue the bonds, which date is herein referred to as the issue date; the bonds will mature and be payable at face value 12 years from such issue date. The issue date is the basis for determining the redemption or maturity period of the bond, and the date appearing in the issuing agent’s stamp should not be confused therewith. The bonds of either series may not be called for redemption by the Secretary of the Treasury prior to maturity, but they may be redeemed prior to maturity, after six months from the issue date, at the owner’s option, at fixed redemption values. 3. Bonds of Series F will be issued on a discount basis at 74 percent of their maturity value. No interest as such will be paid on the bonds, but they will increase in redemption value at the end of the first year from issue date, and at the end of each successive half-year period thereafter until their maturity, when the face amount becomes payable. The increment in value will be payable only upon redemption of the bonds. A table of redemption values appears on each bond. The purchase Price of bonds of Series F has been fixed so as to afford an investment yield of about 2.53 percent Per annum compounded semiannually if the bonds are held to maturity; if the owner exercises his option to redeem a bond prior to maturity the investment yield will be less. 4. Bonds of Series G will be issued at par, and will bear interest at the rate of 2^2 percent per annum, payable semiannually from issue date. Interest will be paid by check drawn to the order of the registered owner. Interest will cease at maturity, or, in case of redemption before maturity, at the end of the interest period next preceding the date of redemption. A table of redemption values appears on each bond, and the difference between the face amount of the bond and the redemption 2 value fixed for any period represents an adjustment (or refund) of interest. Accordingly, if the owner exercises his option to redeem a bond prior to maturity, the investment yield will be less than the interest rate on the bond. Bonds of Series G may be redeemed at par, in whole or in part, (1) upon the death of the owner, or a coowner, if a natural person, or (2) as to bonds held by a trustee or other fiduciary, upon the death of any person which results in termination of the trust. If the trust is terminated only in part, redemption at par will be made only to the extent of the pro rata portion of the trust so terminated, to the next lower multiple of $100. In any case request for redemption at par must be received by the Treasury Department, Division of Loans and Currency, Merchandise Mart, Chicago 54, Illinois, or by a Federal Reserve Bank or Branch within 4 months after the date of death and in accordance with the regulations governing savings bonds. 5. Tables at the end of this circular show separately for bonds of Series F and those of Series G: (1) The redemption values, by denominations, during the successive half-year periods following issue, (2) the approximate investment yield on the issue price from issue date to the beginning of each half-year period, and (3) the approximate investment yield on the current redemption value from the beginning of each half-year period to maturity at the end of the 12-year period. 6. Bonds of Series F and Series G will not be transferable, and will be payable only to the owner named thereon, except in case of death or disability of the owner or as otherwise specifically provided in the regulations governing savings bonds, and in any event only in accordance with said regulations. Accordingly they may not be sold, discounted, hypothecated as collateral for a loan or the performance of a service, or disposed of in any manner other than as provided in the regulations governing savings bonds, and, except as provided in said regulations, the Treasury Department will recognize only the inscribed owner, during his lifetime and competency, and thereafter his estate or heirs. 7. Taxation.— For the purpose of determining taxes and tax exemptions, the increment in value represented by the difference between the price paid for bonds of Series F (which are issued on a discount basis), and the redemption value received therefor (whether at or before maturity) shall be considered as interest, and that interest and interest on bonds of Series G, are not exempt from income or profits taxes now or hereafter imposed by the United States.1 The bonds shall be subject to estate, inheritance, gift, or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but shall be exempt from all taxation now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority. III. PURCHASE OF BONDS 1. Agencies.— Bonds of Series F and Series G may be purchased, while this offer is in effect, upon application to any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch, or to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington 25, D. C. Sales agencies, duly qualified under the provisions of Treasury Department Circular No. 657, as amended and supplemented, and banking institutions generally, may submit applications for account of customers, but only the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches and the Treasury Department are authorized to act as official agencies, and the receipt of application and payment at an official agency will govern the dating of the bonds issued. 2. Payment for bonds.— Every application must be accompanied by payment in full of the issue price. Any form of exchange, including personal checks, will be accepted, subject to collection. Checks, or other forms of exchange, should be drawn to the order of the Federal Reserve Bank or the Treasurer of the United States, as the case may be. Checks payable by endorsement are not acceptable. Any depositary qualified pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Department Circular No. 92 (Revised), will be permitted to make payment by credit for bonds applied for on behalf of its customers up to any amount for which it shall be qualified in excess of existing deposits, when so notified by the Federal Reserve Bank of its district. 1For information concerning the taxable and exempt status under Federal tax laws of the interest (increment in value) on United States Savings Bonds issued on a discount basis (including bonds of Series F ), and alternate meth ods of reporting such interest, see Internal Revenue Mimeograph, Coll.
