    Bonds Feedback: You can buy them directly from the Government, look them up on the Treasury Dept. web site… most banks can do it as well as brokerage firms, but they might want some fee for the service.

    edit: did not see the full question… no matter the actual interest rate of the bond, new or old, all of them are priced to reflect the currently issue interest rate, as so; a $10,000 6% Tbond bond would cost you more than a $10,000 5% Tbond if the 5% rate is the current interest rate, likewise, a 4% bond would be discounted in price.
