savings bonds
Treasury debt instruments
Savings bonds are government-issued debt securities that pay interest over time, purchased as low-risk investments or gifts.
In the United States, they're often bought for children's education funds or given as graduation presents: My grandmother bought me a savings bond every birthday.
The holder lends money to the government and receives it back with interest after a set period.
