COUPONS CLIPPED FROM CONFEDERATE BONDS There are generally two different styles of Confederate States of America (C.S.A.) Bonds. Although they are all generally called bonds, they are really bonds and certificates. The major difference is that bonds have coupons attached at the bottom and certificates do not. All bonds were printed with coupons attached. These coupons were cut off one at a time every six months and redemmed at the CSA Treasury.
